The Aviation Technical Museum first exhibits were aircraft which required maintenance and had been sent to Luhansk Aircraft Repair Plant. Some aircraft remained there, and subsequently were written from use and preserved for display in the museum. This Su-15TM still wears a faded red star.

Following the GCA-2A Helidyne compound helicopter variant, the GCA-2 was developed further as the more conventional GCA-2C, capable of carrying three litters. According to the Gyrodyne Helicopter Historical Foundation, this airframe, which has been preserved at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, was still the rebuilt original GCA-2 prototype N74101, and thus probably the original Bendix J prototype. First flight of the GCA-2C on 25 April 1952. The photo was published in January 1953 when flight testing under a US Navy contract was complete. This took place at Flowerfield, Long Island, where the Gyrodyne company moved in 1951. Photo from: National Museum of the US Navy
