1) Детство и юность.
2) Учеба и служба в ВВС.
3) Перелеты на Дальний Восток и в Америку.
4) Родное Василево
5) Депутат Верховного совета
6) Смерть на взлете

2. the Pavilion - hangar, built in 1955, is situated near the memorial museum.

The display area of the hangar is 800 sq.m. It houses unique planes connected with V.P.Tckalov's work as a pilot. Some extra large-sized units of the exposition are also displayed there.
