This Beriev VVA-14 In Monino, Russia
This turtle-lookalike is currently placed at the Central Air Force Museum in Monino, Russia, but it was not always just sitting in a museum. These planes were created in the 1970s during the Cold War with the intention of destroying U.S. Naval submarines. These planes could be in or out of the water and could travel for extremely long distances. This is the only surviving model of the plane, as only a handful were ever made.

The Trident Sun Jet In The Nicosia Airport, Cyprus
In 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and took over nearly 33 percent of the island, which is an issue that is still going on today, but Cyprus’ capital of Nicosia is right in the middle of this conflict. Nowadays all flights to the Greek part of Cyprus land in Paphos or Larnaca, but before Turkey took over, Nicosia was the main airport on the island. Since Turkey came in, this airport has been completely abandoned other than housing the UN peacekeepers headquarters. Since the airport was left to dust, so was this Cyprus Airways jet.
