VNM - Hanoj - letecké muzeum

Hanoi aviation museum is located on the outskirts of the former military airport of the Bach Mai. The entrance is on the corner of Truong Chinh and Ton That Tung. Airport, Bach Mai was constructed by the French army and played a crucial role in 1954 when the supply of bases in Dien Bien Phu. Today it is no longer in operation, and slowly grows together with the surrounding buildings.

The museum itself consists of a two-storey building and the park in which it is exposed to the approximately 20 aircraft and a few pieces of rusting military equipment. In the building is exposed to predominantly aviation weaponry and equipment from the period from 50. years after present, and many period photographs. The labels are in vietnamese and English.

In the building is also to see the return-cabin of spacecraft Soyuz 37, which in 1980 brought into the universe of the first vietnamese and also the first asian cosmonaut named Pham Tuan in the framework of the program Interkosmos. Phamovi is by the way attributed to only shoot the B-52 in aerial combat, which he had achieved on his Mig-21 in 1972. This shoot, however, the american side of the question.

Of outdoor exposure, I would mention such as I-4 personal helicopter, Ho Chi minh. Seat, on which Ho Chi Min in the helicopter he used to sit, is exposed in the building of the museum. An unknown light aircraft TL-1 and TL-2 have been made as a technological exercise hanojského institute of science and technology (a short article published in L+K 2/2013).

Also is there a known machine MiG-21PF, no. 4326, which was achieved 13 kills. However, this is not the score of one pilot, but the different pilots on the aircraft within the formation they were flying. It is interesting that identical MiG-21PF with the same number and 13 stars on the bow is in the aviation museum in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). So which is the right one? Trupová numbers differ in shape of digits and according to period photographs from the internet I would bet on the hanojského..
