I was browsing a military aviation magazine in the bookstore today, and it had an article on Romania's airplane graveyard.

Apparently, Romania has one of Europe's largest military airplane graveyard. It's located near Craiova, and contains over 120 Mig-21 Fishbeds and IAR-93 planes. They also had some pictures of it - it was sad to see so many airplanes, some of them appearing to be in good condition, strewn across a field in complete disarray. In some of the Migs, bees had built nests in the cone of the airplane's nose.

The magazine is Air Force Monthly, November 2006. On page 46, Romania's Ghost Town, talks about this aircraft graveyard.

any web links? I've searched, to no avail. thanks

I don't know if there is an online version of it, or if the article was posted on its site. If I find the magazine (in case I haven't thrown it out), I'll scan the article and post it here.
