The Air Force Museum in southern Hanoi. Also visible here are a UH-1, an A-37, and the museum's magnificent Mi-6.

The People's Air Force Museum makes for a fun bicycle trip from downtown Hanoi.

Aircraft-handling Vietnamese style!

Still showing the flamboyant colours of former operator Jatayu Air, this ex American Airlines 727 has been abandoned at the same spot by the taxiway since mid-2007 after a few passenger flights to Siem Reap. Not quite a dream…

A lovely Il-14 displayed in the Long Bien District along with an An-2 at the CAA of Vietnam HQ, near downtown Gia Lam (military) airport. C/n is unknown unfortunately, but ex 58482 of the North Vietnamese AF and as such around 1957 carried Ho Chi Minh, the nation's legendary leader. Later operated as seen here and wfu at Gia Lam AB by 1996. For me the most rewarding shot in Hanoi
