Parco Tematico e Museo dell’Aviazione Casolari<\/a> is a museum near Rimini in Italy, close to the border with San Marino. Opened in 1995, it is located on a small hill, with several airplanes especially from the Cold War. Unfortunately, since most planes are on display outdoor with few protections, most are significantly damaged by weather. Moreover, when I visited it (last August, during my holidays nearby), grass was not mowed and it was very high. Few days ago, it was announced that the museum is for sale.<\/p>\n

Close to the entrance, you can find the front section of a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21UM “Mongol-B”, on which you can sit in the front cockpit. It is painted in Soviet colours, but I found different versions about its origin: some sites say it is a former East German plane, others say it is a former Iraqi Air Force plane.

In the RC modeling pavilion you can find this homebuilt ultralight. I could not identify it even with the help of very expert people, so I tried to ask on Facebook. The son of the builder contacted me, saying that it is a one-off homebuilt not based on any plan, and nicknamed “Camillo” by his father.

Douglas DC-3. The museum markets it as Clark Gable’s plane. I was skeptic at first, but after doing some research about construction numbers it looks like it is actually the actor’s plane.
