Museum of Naval Aviation in Goa

And here's the best and most obscure place in Goa. Naval Aviation Museum! For him gamz drove the heat and stuffiness in the bike 30 kilometers. And much, please note back! Seven pots went off.
The museum at the air base, near the civil airport of the same name. Beauty is literally - an unearthly: look at the exhibits, head over to take off and land MiG-29K, military training jets run on the box, practicing "conveyor belt", and in the distance the sea shines. Many planes shabby, the territory is garbage, rusty barb tight, but the stronger the feeling that he was in a secret place, where everything - only for those who understand. )

Contrary to the guide books, no Soviet aircraft in the museum there. There are several helicopters and a couple of small training aircraft. A small museum, it is not 20 years. Of course, in Russia you will not see anything of what is presented here. Will gather in Goa - you know what to eat, where to relax by the beach.
