Soviet aircraft still present in Baltic States

Post by MAS017 »

Spring holiday is due, and intension is to go to the Baltic States Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania :wink:

Apart from aviation museums (only one at RIX ?), would love to 'visit' some aircraft on poles 'on display' at various places...

I know there is a lot of expertise here at Scramble (recent trips down there), so any ideas to share of where to go (or make a detour) ?

Cheers !!!

There is also a nice collection near Panevezys (Lithuania) including:

Mil 8 (civ)
Mil 2 (civ)
Su-15 (Ukrainian AF)
Mig 23ML (Ukrainian AF)
Mig 21 SM (Russian AF)
L-29 Delfin (Russian AF)

It is next to a small airfield and is easily accessible as there is no fence or any other restriction

Coordinates are 55 49' 41'' N, 24 21' 40'' E
Driving out of Panevezys on the A10 to Riga (Latvia) you can't miss it on your left.

Since you are a subscriber: Scramble 376 - Page 123 to 129 lists quite a number of aircraft and locations. Or is this not what you are looking for?

Stefan,

Yes, partly, as it does not show Estonia, however, it is a great help indeed :!:

(sorry for the late reply: just returned from 4 weeks holiday to Viet Nam and couldn't verify earlier to you)...
