During the Cold War Yugoslavia was the owner of one of the most top-secret bases in Europe, Željava Air Base. It was equipped with a small airport, and the Douglas C-47 Skytrain was used to move Yugoslav soldiers. Today, this abandoned plane sits right on the border of Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. The base no longer exists, as it was bombed with 56 tons of explosives, and Yugoslavia fell apart in 1990.
