Russian abandoned aircraft site

"This engineering was in a museum Aircraft technicians in Moscow
earlier. But when a museum have closed, engineering have put on a
separate platform open-air and it became nobody necessary."

Nevermind the broken English. Photos of what's apparently a place near
Moscow for abandoned Soviet aircraft.

Jeez...there's at least one MiG-29 and one MiG-25 (or possibly even a
-31) in there. That's a fascinating find.

EXCELLENT website that shows plenty of similar things. I suggest
bookmarking the site and exploring it at will - most folks on this
newsgroup will love it.

I am very certain that it is the old Moscow Central airfield called Frunze
(aka Khodinka), which is at 37 Leningradsky Prospekt.

Easily visible on Google Earth at 55°47'16.00"N 37°32'13.00"E.

Correct.

There is 5 pages of images at the following. A very well known and
photographed collection.
