Unique aircraft in the Soviet VVS' colleges of aircraft' technicians

[Silencer1]

Hello!


There is a site, dedicated to aircraft and engines, that have been used as a tutorial objects in several Soviet military aviation colleges (or academies?) - there were a lot of prototypes and rarities among them.


As an example - "jet" Tu-2 and "jet" Il-10 from the inventory of Irkutsk High Military Aviation College of Engineer (IVVAU).
Tu-2 has been described as kind of training stand, although Il-10 decribed, as adaptation with turbojet.

Riga' college aircraft http://vfk1.narod.ru/RVVAIU/RVVAIU.htm
Moscow' college aircraft http://vfk1.narod.ru/BTVCh.htm (with some Sukhoi' prototypes)


Site is on Russian and not all the photos are hi-res, so - there would be some discoveries to all fans of Soviet jets, I hope.
Enjoy!
