Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Interesting Kamov, Mil Mi-6 and early "Krokodil" Mil Mi-24 Hind!
Good to see they have a Zlin on display as well, apart from "the usual suspects"... :wink:

Great collection indeed!
I nticed that most aircraft have a (small) number on the nose, apart from the serial. Anybody for the meaning of this?

It's 153001 on 'display'. The museum holds an area where wreckage of US (and French?) aircraft are displayed that have been shot down by the (North) Vietnamese.
