| Monino Central Museum of Voenno Vozdushnukh Sil (Air Force) is the largest collection of aviation artifacts in Russia. Back few years ago I managed to take few photos, but was warned and in fear to be asked to leave the facilities and to loose the film I interrupted my photo session. The place was still taboo for visitors with cameras (unless you are lucky, can make friends quickly or bribed you way through).
Besides Monino there are few more "must see" places in Moscow and surroundings:
| Gromov Flight Research Center (LII) at Zhukovsky
