Aviation Museum

Kyiv


Located at the far side of Zhulyany airfield, this open-air museum displays dozens of Soviet aircraft designed to carry people or tanks, land on ice or water, drop bombs or engage in dogfights. You can climb aboard a few of the planes and helicopters. It's about a 1.5km walk or taxi ride along vul Medova from Zhulyany Airport.
