V-51 is the Yugoslav Air Force designation of the U-66. This is the second prototype, and as the first prototype flew 02-Dec-1966, this one will have followed shortly after that. As it still carries Yugoslav Air Force markings, it must have been phased out before 1992 when the Serbia-Montenegro Air Force was formed. It went to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd where it is kept in the storage area. The tail and the fuselage behind it belong together. The V-51 behind it is 51145.

Manufactured mid-1945 as a Li-2T it first served with the Soviet Union Air Force, identity not known. Around 1946/47 it entered service with the Yugoslav Air Force as 71103. It was renamed Li-3 after the conversion from Shvetsov ASh-62 engines to P&W R-1830-900. Possibly at the same time the serial was changed to 7011. After withdrawal it was painted in fake RAF markings for a movie. It was stored at Belgrade airport, but early 2017 it was moved to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd grounds.

Built in 1946, it started life as F-BBYB with STA-Société Transatlantique Aérienne registered in Aug-1946. From Sep-1947 to 1948 it was leased to COSARA in then French Indochina. In Oct-1948 it went to the French Air Force as 222. In 1950 it was delivered to the Yugoslavian Air Force where it was serialled 7208. From 1951 to 1953 it flew temporarily as YU-ACF with JAT. At an unknown date it was converted with P&W R-1340 engines. It made its last flight in 1965 when it flew to Belgrade where it was stored. In Jul-1969 it became part of the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. Click here for a photo from its earlier life as F-BBYB.

Originally laid down as a 10A for TWA, it was completed as a VI-R and made its first flight 24-Jul-1962 with the test registration F-WJAK. It was delivered to JAT 27-Feb-1963 as YU-AHB and was named "Bled". Its last service was flown 19-April-1976 and in May-1976 it was withdrawn from use and stored at Belgrade. In 1977 it was assigned to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd and in Sep-1978 its registration was cancelled.

This J-1 Jastreb was built in Jul-1970 as 24115 for the Yugoslav Air Force where it was designated J-21. By 1990 it had been delivered to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. There is some uncertainty about the cn, many sources say 015, but the museum says 017. It is listed here as 017.

This HP-43 (Yugoslav designation for the Ka-25PL) was taken on charge by the Yugoslav Air Force as 11323 in Nov-1974. From Apr-1992 it was transferred to the Serbia and Montenegro Air Force. It was withdrawn from use in Aug-1994 and stored at Podgorica-Golubovci. Its last flight was 16-Sep-1998 when it flew to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. The "IR" marking stands for Istrazivanje Raznoj and indicates that the aircraft is disarmed according to the Dayton agreement.

This Sealand was registered as G-AKLS in Nov-1947. This was cancelled in Mar-1949 to be sold to Trinidad as VP-TBC but this registration was not taken up. It was again registered G-AKLS in Nov-1950 and cancelled in May-1951. It then was testflown as G-14-2 before being sold to Yugoslavia . In Oct-1951 it was delivered with the ferry registration YU-CFK and on arrival became 0662 with the Air Force. Its last flight was made 18-Dec-1962 and it became part of the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. Reports that this aircraft flew with JAT as YU-CFK are erroneous.

This J-20 (Yugoslav Air Force designation of the P-2) was manufactured in mid 1977 and entered service as 30148. The specific history of it is currently not known but the J-20 was phased out of operational service in 1989. This one ended up in the storage area of the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd and was seen there in a grey colour scheme with the name "Memphis" painted large on the fuselage and an eagle crest on the fin. It was later repainted in the colours of the character "Dusty Crophopper" of the Disney movie "Planes" ("Avioni" in Serbian) as seen here.

The L-14I (the Yugoslav designation of the MiG-21R) reconnaissance aircraft was in service with the Yugoslav and later the Serbia and Montenegro Air Force from 1968 until 2003. That same year 26105 arrived at the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd.

12013 was built in 1961 and served with the Yugoslav Air Force until withdrawn from use in 1977. It was delivered to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd on 16 Feb 1977. By looking closely you can still see "013" above the door.

In the Aeronautical Museum's backyard. Jastrebs 23502 and 24410, Oraos 25505 and 25506, and MiG-21 22953 can also be identified.

Red crosses and rocket launchers - an odd combination.
