A Douglas DC-6B is the museum’s largest exhibit and also the Flying Bulls’ largest aircraft. The aircraft is the former presidential aircraft of the Yugoslav Marshal and later President Tito. Due to the height of the aircraft’s vertical tail, a flap element had to be installed above the hangar door in order to be able to drive the aircraft into the hangar.
