[edit]- 1 The Central Air Force Museum (Центральный музей Военно-воздушных сил, CMAF) (approximately 1.6 km south of the train station in Monino; there are infrequent signs to the museum if you walk; tte best way to get there is either by taxi or by using a map with a GPS). W-Su 10:00-17:00. Monino is a commuter suburb of Moscow. It mainly just has high-rise apartment buildings and a few shops near the train station. Walk south from the station until you hit the museum boundary. Then walk around the east side so you don't go several miles around the wrong way. The museum is a very interesting contrast in modern and old-style Russian. Some parts of it are very new while other parts were probably designed in the 1960s-70s. There are several dozen aircraft outside in various states of repair. Some planes (like the a Mig-29 in the grass) are fairly neglected. There is a large indoor hangar with many World War II aircraft and displays that get wet from a leaky roof. Overall this is a place to visit mainly if you enjoy aviation, especially since it is off the beaten path. Plan to spend 2-3 hours there, which is enough to see the indoor and outdoor displays. Some of the plaques are in English, but not most.
