In 1995, the commander of the base for the liquidation of the AT, Colonel A. Kornienko, and the chief engineer of the base, Lieutenant Colonel V.

By the directive of the commander of the 4th IA of April 23, 1995, 4 aircraft of different types planned for cutting were allowed to leave as exhibits of the future aviation museum.

In particular, it was not possible to agree with the leadership of TANTK on the preservation of a unique experimental aircraft Bartini Beriev VVA-14 design R. L. Bartini, which was simply cut into colored matter. The same fate befell another unique sample - the cabin of a supersonic bomber Sukhoi T-4 structures P.O. Sukhoi.
