On Chukotka Aviamuzey Engels transported a unique fighter.

On October 23, it became known that the MiG-19 fighter would be transported to the Saratov region, where it would be placed in the long-range aviation museum in the city of Engels. The fighter stood in the Chukotka village of Ugolnye Kopi for 36 years, during which time it became one of the few surviving examples of this model in Russia.

"Commander of long-distance aviation of the Russian Air Force Anatoly Zhikharev during his recent visit to Chukotka decided to remove MiG-19 from the pedestal in the abandoned part of the village of Ugolny Kopi in order to avoid looting and destroying the unique machine and transferring it to Engels for restoration and placement in the long-range aviation museum ", The source said.

Employees of the company "Planum" started dismantling the aircraft, which at the moment does not yet have the official status of the monument.

Residents of the village, in which the ship was previously, appealed to the governor with a request to leave the MiG-19 in Chukotka. They want to restore the fighter and place in the district airport.
