In one ground-floor section with the theme ‘’Exhibits that Fell from the Sky’’ the Museum displays wreckage of U.S. aircraft downed during Operation Allied Force airstrikes against then-Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999, including one F-117A Night Hawk, one F-16C Fighting Falcon, and MQ-1 Predator unmanned aerial system.Displays also include aircraft and other equipment the U.S. provided to Yugoslavia through various programs during about 1951-1967, notably a 1951 Mutual Assistance Agreement during the Cold War to counter Soviet influence after the 1948 Stalin-Tito split. [NOTE: In 1999, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia comprised territories now recognized by the U.S. as Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo (then still within Serbia).]
