| Abandoned Antonov aeroplane |
This army station was in use for nearly 50 years, giving home to numerous Soviet fighter planes of the well-known Mig aeroplane family. On average, 40 Mig-s were stationed here. The flight crew and the staff with their families lived in small flats situated nearby the base. This arrangement formed a small, closed community, separated from the rest of the area. After the Soviets left the airport, most of the old structures were demolished. Luckily, some service blocks. equipment, a fire truck and a lonely Antonov aeroplane somehow still survived.
