Why this place is special
The large propeller aircraft makes naval aviation tangible. Choose this for questions about how an aircraft observes and protects a large stretch of sea.
The museum preserves a retired TU-142M naval aircraft opposite the submarine museum. Aircraft and equipment displays offer a different view of maritime work from the vessel across the road.
