We were told we wouldn't get access to the active base - but they changed their mind when we got to the museum! The museum is on the field, but over the brow of a very slight hill and far away enough to obscure the active part of the base. Unfortunately we didn't see any flying (other than a couple of Mil-8's hanging around).
