I am traveling to Belarus on 7th March to spend my Birthday with Lena and see her country.
I am not sure if there are any preserved aircraft or musuems there to visit and wondered if anybody here has any ideas.
Lena will show me a lot of the cultural sites and places of intrest but she does not know of any aircraft related places, I intend to avoid any current military sites and the plane spotting thing but anything of vintage to see would be nice.

The Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Minsk has a Li-2, and at the gate of the former PVO base at Krychav there is a Su-9 on a pole. I’m sure there are other preserved aircraft around, particularly in larger towns/cities, the bulk of which will probably be MiG-17s coded ’01′(red).
Thanks mate.
