AN-12 Warplane On A Random Field

There is a field in Estonia, near the small city of Keila where an old warplane AN-12 is situated. I knew about the existence of this place for a while but only decided to visit it this summer. The exact location can be seen in a @pinampple comment below if you want to go there at some point.

The last flight of this plane happened sometime in the late 60-s when it flew to the capital, Tallinn. In the 80s this plane was transported to this location, 30 km away and this happened on the roads. It was a crazy thing to do because it was too wide to transport on the roads. They dismantled the wings and tail and put them back together on the location. This is where it stands to this day.

You can actually go inside too for a couple of euros but it was already too late and we didn't want to call to the landlord to let us in. We can always go back there. Still, it was really cool to see it from the outside too, it's quite huge.
