This Sukhoi Su-7 In Shindand, Afghanistan

You’re very unlikely to be traveling to Shindand, Afghanistan anytime in the near future, but if you are, know that this site has plenty of plane crash sites to take a look at. The planes used to belong to the Afghan Air Force, but now they’re just a reminder of the past and its turbulent present. These particular jets were used by the Afghan military while fighting off the Soviet forces in the 1980s, but now they just sit in the Shindad Airfield, which is currently being used by both the Afghan Army and the United States Special Forces.

Tempelhof Airport In Berlin, Germany

The Tempelhof Airport used to be the most beautiful airport before World War II, and it is now Berlin’s largest park. It was completely out of use officially in 2008, and since then all air traffic in and out of Berlin goes through the other two airports near the city. Tempelhof Airport is now a public area. When the Soviet Union attacked Berlin, Tempelhof Airport became the hub for airlift operations set forth to help Berliners. Some of the planes used in these operations are still located near the airport for the public to explore.
