Subject: RUSSIAN AF MUSEUM
Highlights of Visit to the Russian Air Force Museum at
Monino
By Colonel Tom Whitlock [USAF-Retired]
In August of 2005 I made my way to Russia, hungry to see
some Russian military aircraft flying at the MAKS airshow. Also high on
my list of planned activities was a visit to the official Russian Air
Force museum at the town of Monino, about an hour's train ride north of
Moscow. The museum used to be operated by the air force but it's now
independent, which means you no longer need an invitation to visit. This
is the view from the main
gate.
At the top of the list of things I wanted to see was this
helicopter, the largest which has ever flown. It has the NATO code name
"Homer" and is usually referred to as the Mi-12, however since it never
entered production its correct name is actually V-12. Two or three
prototypes were built and did quite a bit of flying, including a trip
across Europe to the Paris Air Show. Depending on which source you
believe, this was either in 1965, 1971, 1981 or 1985; as far as I can
tell 1971 is the correct date. The V-12 used two of the power plants and
rotors from the already massive Mi-6 "Hook", which you can see later on
this page and also in Vietnamese Air Force colours. The fuselage is 37
meters long and 12.5 meters high (121 x 41 feet). The rotors are each 35
meters (114 feet) in diameter and it can lift up to 25 tonnes (55,000
pounds) of cargo, though in a special record-breaking effort in 1969 it
lifted 40 tonnes (88,600 pounds) to a height of 2250 meters (7400 feet).
With a more normal load the maximum range was a very useful 1000
kilometers (625 miles).
This is the inside of the main hangar, visible in the
photograph taken from the front entrance. On the far left hand side is
an Ant-25 which flew from Moscow to California in the 1930s, and there
are also some original and replica early Russian aircraft, as well as a
few space exhibits. A new hangar is being built near this one, which
bodes well for the future of the museum. It would certainly be a good
thing to get some more of the museum's unique aircraft out of the nasty
Russian weather.
This was one of the few other space exhibits at the museum,
the MiG 105-11 single-person lifting body craft, which actually has a
turbojet engine to allow it to divert or reattempt a landing after a
failed approach. This craft did several flights after being dropped from
a modified Tu-95 "Bear". As you can see, the grass in this display area
could really use a cut, though most of the aircraft looked to be in
quite good condition.
As you might expect, the museum had examples of pretty much
every single type of Russian jet fighter, arranged by manufacturer with
separate sections for Sukhoi, Mikoyan-Gurevich (MiG) and Yakolev. Quite
a number of the exhibits are the actual prototypes used to test the
aircraft and there are also a number of experimental aircraft which
never went into production, including this Sukhoi S-26 experimental
ski-equipped jet fighter, which apparently performed very well.
There weren't too many naval aircraft on display, apart from
a two-engined Beriev Be-12 "Mail" seaplane and this Yak-38 "Forger",
which is a vertical takeoff and landing fighter which went into
production in 1975 and served aboard Soviet Kiev-class aircraft
carriers. Near the Yak-38 was another Yakolev designed VTOL naval
fighter, the supersonic Yak-141 "Freestyle".
I'm not a great expert on Soviet aircraft, so it was a real
treat to see some of the less common types which I wasn't familiar with,
like this Myasischev M-50 "Bounder" supersonic intercontinental nuclear
bomber which first flew in 1959. This is one weird looking aircraft, the
long tubular fuselage with pointed nose mounted above a bicycle style
undercarriage with outrigger landing gear at the end of the wings. An
engine is mounted at each wingtip, leading one person to comment that it
looked like it had been designed by a ten year old boy! Very few of
these aircraft were built, because Khruschev decided that all efforts in
this area should be concentrated on ICBMs. This decision spelled the end
for both the Myasischev and the Lavochkin design bureaus.
This extraordinary aircraft is the Sukhoi T-4, a Russian
attempt to emulate the USAF XB-70 Valkyrie mach-3 bomber. The T-4
(sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Su-100) is largely constructed
from titanium and stainless steel and featured the world's first "fly by
wire" control system. It started its flight test program in 1972, but
made only 10 flights before the program was scrapped. Like Concorde and
the Tu-144, the T-4 has a drooping nose to provide better forward vision
when taking off and landing however, unlike either of these aircraft,
there are no forward windows to look through when the nose is lifted.
Instead the pilots must use a periscope for forward vision, and a couple
of small windows (one of which is visible through one of the front
windows in this photo) to provide a view sideways and up. Interestingly,
the bilingual sign in front ! of the T-4 states its purpose as
"destruction of attack aircraft carriers and reconnaisance".
In the last photo you can see a part of the field set aside
for the display of Russian designed helicopters. There must have been a
total of 15 or 20 helicopters at the museum, just a couple of the
interesting Kamov models with contra-rotating rotors, and almost all of
the others being Mils, like the well-known Mi-24 "Hind-D" gunship at the
front of this photo, standing next to its less well-known Mi-24 "Hind-A"
predecessor.
This Mi-10 "Harke" was a great sight, tucked away at the
back of the display. The Mi-10 was a flying crane dating back to 1960
which, like the V-12, used the same powerplant and rotor as the Mi-6
"Hook". As you can see, the Mi-10 also featured a platform which could
be used to carry a vehicle. Although all of the display areas were
surrounded by low chain-link fences, the custodians quickly gave me
permission to go past them in order to get better photographs. Although
they didn't speak English and I didn't speak Russian, I was able to make
my request known to them by sign language and acting out what I wanted
to do!
Here finally is the Mi-6 "Hook", the grey one a regular
version with the wings mounted just behind the rotor head, and a
fire-fighting version without the wings. There were three Mi-6s at the
museum, another one being in the main helicopter display area. For many
years the Mi-6 was the largest helicopter in the world, able to carry
twice the load of the largest helicopter ever produced in America.
Behind the grey Mi-6 in the previous photo is this Mi-26
"Halo", currently the world's largest operational helicopter. It's
essentially an enlarged Mi-6 with an eight-bladed rotor, allowing it to
carry 66% more payload. It has been exported to several countries,
including India, Greece, Peru and Laos.
Mil and Kamov were the dominant Russian helicopter design
bureaus, but early on Yakolev also tried their hand, producing this
Yak-24 "Horse" which was intended as a troop transport. To my surprise,
parked behind the Yak-24 was an American twin-rotor Vertol H-21
helicopter, complete with American flag painted on the vertical tail
surfaces! Strange as it might seem, this was apparently sold to the
Russians in the late 1950s.
During world war two, three American B-29 Superfortress
bombers landed on separate occasions in the Russian city of Vladivostok,
unable to return to their home base because of battle damage or
mechanical problems. The Russians, who weren't officially at war with
Japan, interned the aircraft and their crews, who were later allowed to
"escape" back to their own forces. The aircraft remained in Russia and
Stalin ordered the Tupolev design bureau to reverse engineer them,
resulting in the Tupolev Tu-4 which you see here, which was assigned the
NATO code name "Bull". About 1200 Tu-4s were built, some of which were
supplied to China which used them until the late 1960s.
Although they had no equivalent to the B-29, the Russians
had always been capable of developing large aircraft, and home-grown
alternatives to the Tu-4 soon came into existence, such as this Tu-95
"Bear". The Tu-95 is one of the classic Soviet cold war aircraft and was
frequently encountered by western military aircrews as the Tu-95s
shadowed NATO naval forces. It has the world's most powerful turboprop
engines driving contra-rotating propellers mounted on a wing swept back
by 35 degrees, making it almost as fast as jets of the time, and has a
range of 15,000 kilometers (9,400 miles). It first flew in 1952 and has
been phenomenally successful, remaining in production into the mid-1980s
and serving in a wide variety of roles. It's still in service and as
recently as 1999 some Tu-95s on simulated nuclear bombing missions
against America were intercepted by American fighter planes.
The Antonov design bureau specialized in large transport
aircraft and to this day they hold the records for the largest transport
aircraft, the An-124 with four jet engines and the even more massive
An-225 with six jet engines, which has a maximum takeoff weight of over
575 tonnes (1,250,000 pounds). The museum doesn't have an An-124 or
An-225 but it does have this An-22 Antheus (NATO code name "Cock"),
which is the largest propeller-driven plane ever built. It has the same
model of turbo-prop driven contra-rotating propellers as the Tu-95 and
is capable of carrying 80 tonnes (80 tons) of cargo. Behind it you can
see one of the most unusual aircraft at Monino, the remains of an
"Ekranoplan" or Beriev VVA-14 ground-effect hydroplane, designed in 1972
as an anti-submarine craft.
This is a Tu-114 "Russiya", a civilian derivative of the
Tu-95 "Bear", which has the distinction of being the largest
propeller-driven airliner to ever go into service, seating up to 220
passengers. It also still holds the record for the world's fastest
turbo-prop aircraft, aided by its swept wings. It's said that this is
the very aircraft in which Khruschev flew when he visited the United
States. If you fly into Russia through Domodedovo airport (DME) then
you'll see one displayed at the front of the airport, in better looking
condition than this one.
No doubt this Tu-144 airliner will be the highlight of
Monino for many people, even though it's difficult to get photographs
because of the aircraft surrounding it. This is the Russian version of
the Anglo-French Concorde airliner, whose plans the Russians had
acquired from the French by a bit of industrial espionage. The
"Concordski", as it was dubbed, flew two months before Concorde, and had
a number of differences from the Concorde, including a main wing more
optimized for high-speed flight, and a small auxiliary canard wing just
behind the cockpit which was extended at low speeds to improve takeoff
and landing performance. The Tu-144 was about 4 meters longer than
Concorde and also had a maximum speed of Mach 2.35 (2,500 km/h or 1,550
mph) compared to the Concorde's maximum speed of Mach 2.2 (2,330 km/h or
1,450 mph). Some think that the French got their re v! enge when a
Tu-144 crashed at the 1973 Paris Air Show, the theory being that the
plane's pilot had to take a drastic evasive maneuver to avoid hitting a
French Mirage chase plane which had been launched without telling the
Russians. Another theory is that the Russians tinkered with the controls
before the flight to allow a faster and more dramatic rate of climb,
which lead to the aircraft stalling and crashing, killing the entire
crew of 6 as well as 8 people on the ground. In the end the Tu-144 only
flew 102 scheduled flights with Aeroflot, about half of which carried
only freight. In 1996 NASA started a series of flights of a refurbished
Tu-144 in order to research the possibilities of a second-generation
supersonic jet airliner, but this program was cancelled in 1999.

RED STAR PILOTS !!!
Oshkosh is 2 months away !!
The events section of the web site is down so I am emailing details
to the Yak-list. Spread the news. Whoever does the e-comms may copy
and also put in the news letter.
Oshkosh Airventure starts Monday 7-24 and runs until Sunday 7-30
http://www.airventure.org/
Red Stars will gather at Manitowoc starting the weekend before -
Friday 7-21, Saturday 7-22, Sunday 7-23.
We will base out of the EAA hanger at MTW. They have allowed us to
use it for the last few years and have invited us back again.
They will host a cookout for us on Saturday 7-22 at 6PM - try to
arrive by Saturday evening.
Jim "Pappy" Goolsby will be leading the mass formation practice out
of MTW.
Russ Dycus will be airboss at MTW. He always does a great job of
keeping flights in the air. He will be putting more 2 and 4 ship
flights this year in addition to the mass formation prep for the
airshows at OSH.
During the week we will depart MTW and recover in OSH for the warbird
briefings then fly in the warbird portion of the airshow. I have
heard we will not be the high altiitude fliers we have been in the
past. The larger our numbers grow and the quality formation work we
do will help to get lower altitudes for the airshow.
Some guys will recover at OSH - some will recover at MTW.
We will have a RV and a tent in the warbird flightline area again
this year to gather, get some shade and a cool drink. Look for the
banners.
Even if you do not plan on flying in the mass formation - come hang out.
Bill Mills is the new NorthCentral director - he will be helping out
on the ground at OSH.
AEROBATICS BOX -
The waiver application is into the FAA. I have a verbal OK from them
as the application is unchanged from last year. The box will be over
the field at MTW and can be activated with phone call anytime between
7AM and 9PM local time. Bring your altitude waivers (ACE card) and
have fun!!
SERGEI BORIAK -
Sergei will be available to fly with anyone during the week. We need
6 pilots to make it worthwhile to bring him in. I already have 4.
We have enough time for about 12 flights with him. Cost will vary
depending on how many people want to fly with him. Last year it was
about $200 per flight. It is worth it. I have flown with him
several times. You will have fun and learn more in that hour than
you can imagine. He will suit the flight to your needs - easy
beginner stuff like loops and rolls - to inverted spins, lomchavaks,
etc. If we have more people sign up then the cost goes down per flight.

Any thoughts about those of us planning to stay at OSH all week? Staying on the
field at Sun-n-Fun was a blast, and did not go unnoticed by the warbird community.

not have a sponsor the cost will be minimal. 30$ a head should cover the dinner
Saturday night, use of the EAA hanger for the week, they keep the fridge stocked
with water, soda and beer for the week. I will keep the tent at OSH stocked
with water, beer and sodas for the week. The RV is donated and those who fly
with Sergei will pay him. No Tshirts this year as that ran up the cost last
year. If we get a sponsor the cost will go down
NOTAM
Runway 17-35 at MTW will be closed for resurfacing. This will not affect the ramp,
taxiways or runway 7-25. Pappy is aware and the alternatives are limited.
Should not be a problem.

Just another posting asking for anyone who has any Russian VHF radios laying
around, operable or broken, to please contact me off-list as I am interested
in purchasing anything you have.
