That's why the museum is interesting. For its plane diversity.
Every exposed plane was used by air force firstly by Kingdom of Serbia, then Kingdom of Yugoslavia before the WW2, then Tito's Yugoslavia, all the way to the present Serbia. It was from 1912 to present day.
Before WW2 Yugoslavia also had good aviation industry in a rang of for example Poland, but mostly licencely built planes, like Breguet, Hawker Hurricane and Dornier Do17, (interesting production, isn' it?) and a numerous of its own design, like Rogozarski IK3.
So you can see Hurricanes beside Messerschmitt, and Sabres and Thunderjets beside Soviet planes from the 1950s and 1960s, like MiG21, Gazelles and Bell beside Mil4 and Mil8 or Kamov.
And there is only surviving Fiat G50 in the world, unfortunately not restaurated yet. Beside some parts of F117, F16, F15, Predator and complete unexploded Tomahawk guided missile.
