The monument is a small plane on a pedestal, as if flying into the sky. Its wings depict red stars, and on the side, near the cockpit, combat number 10. Around the monument there is a beautiful flowerbed with green grass and figuratively planted multicolored flowers. Nearby grow blue spruces, and on both sides along the alleys - rows of young birches.

In the center of the pedestal there is a memorial plaque with the names of the fallen hero pilots. On the Victory Day, wreaths and flowers are laid at the foot of the monument, the airport management organizes a rally, which begins with a minute of silence in memory of the dead. It ends with a solemn volley of weapons and honoring war veterans.
