The old workhorse MI-24s here are hard to spot -- even if you`ve flown into or out of this place. But there are six or seven of these other ubiquitous old Soviet aircraft that can be easily seen. Yup, still today...

If it doesn`t look familiar to anybody or we don`t get close in the next hours I`ll post a photo showing more of the operational area of the airport

If we need another photo clue I'll have to crop any photo that shows the control tower -- as it's unique...

Dook is closer now. The Soviet sphere of influence (as we called it during the Cold War) extended far past Europe and Asia. This place is almost as far from Moscow as Havana is.

Even though some international cariers serve this airport the runway could use some TLC...
