The Douglas DC-3, or C-47, which is located on the site of the former airfield, is a World War II transport aircraft. In 1984, the aircraft was brought to a meadow near the village of Otok near Metlika and placed as a museum memorial. Initially painted in the JVL colour scheme, the aircraft was repainted in 1986 in the British colour scheme, which it has remained in to this day.
The aged plane of the Yugoslav National Army was set years ago as a memory of the provisional partisan airport during the war. The English and Americans used to fly the injured from Bela Krajina, which was liberated territory, to Allied hospitals in Italy during World War II as well as send weapons and other materials to the partisans.
