The collection is particularly focused on planes from the <strong>Soviet era<\/strong>, reflecting the aviation history of Lithuania during the time it was part of the Soviet Union.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visitors can explore several iconic <strong>Soviet aircraft<\/strong>, including <strong>fighter jets<\/strong>, <strong>transport planes<\/strong>, and <strong>training aircraft<\/strong>. These planes are part of Lithuania\u2019s aviation history and provide a look into the military aviation that was used during the Cold War period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The museum showcases aircraft such as <strong>MiG<\/strong> fighters, <strong>Antonov transport planes<\/strong>, and other notable aircraft used by Soviet forces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aviation Museum and Exhibits<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The museum has dedicated <strong>exhibits<\/strong> that highlight the role of aviation in <strong>Lithuanian history<\/strong> and its connection to <strong>Soviet-era military aviation<\/strong>.
