Perhaps the scruffiest of all the planes at this super museum.

This Z-42 was previously DM/DDR-WOI but is now on display at the super museum. Very small titles on the dorsal fin.

This Moose is on display at this very interesting museum.

This Czechoslovak built Fishbed-C was TOC by the 5. stíhací letecký pluk (5th Fighter Air Regiment) in June 1971 and went on to serve until it was decomissioned in December 1989.

This Little Bee (Soviet) or Clod (NATO) was delivered to the NVA in December 1966 and, for part of its service life, flew as a VIP aircraft. It was retired in December 1981 and placed with the Dresden Military Museum but in September 1989 was moved to Cottbus.

This An-2 was first noted with the NVA in July 1957. The plane was retired in April 1990 and transferred to a museum in Dresden. It was transferred to this museum around June 1998 and appears to be undergoing restoration (new coat of paint and previous reports note there was no tailplane).

This Morava flew previously with the Czechoslovak AF as '0320' and then SNA Žilina and Svazarm Aeroklub, the latter as OK-OKZ. The plane was withdrawn from use at Schwerin - Parchim (SZW / EDOP) in 2005, where it remained until 2016 when it was bought by and transported to this very interesting museum.

This 134 was handed over to the Privolzhsk directorate of Aeroflot in July 1972 but later damaged beyond economical repair during a hard landing at Erfurt and withdrawn from the fleet in September 1984. It was donated (or sold) to East Germany, repaired, ferried to Schoenefeld (SXF) in July 1985, dismantled and transported by road to Wartin (near Angermünde) for use as an anti-terrorist trainer at the MfS training centre. In January 1990 it was handed over to the district of Angermünde and later used as a restaurant at Grünz, before being dismantled and transported to this museum in late 2017.

This Beagle flew from 1954 until 1961 with the Soviet AF based in East Germany but after 1961 it was transferred to the NVA - LSK/LV and flew with Zieldarstellungsstaffel-21 (ZDS-21) at Cottbus - Drehwitz. In August 1968 the plane was SOC and used as a spares source before the remains appear to have been unceremoniously dumped in a nearby gravel pit. Thankfully, the remains were dug up in 2005 and the nose is now on display at this super museum.

This Fw-190 was badly damaged when its hangar was destroyed by Russian ground fire at Finsterwalde, Germany. It is now on display in its unrestored condition at this super museum.

Delivered to the East German Air Force as 996 in 1966. Withdrawn from use in 1981 and preserved at Dresden Military Museum. Moved to Cottbus Museum in 1997.
