In Soviet time Novgorod like all regional centers had its own airport, intended to receive small and middle aircrafts like An-2 (NATO Colt) and Yak-40 (NATO Codling) and also helicopters. At the middle of zeroth the activity of the airport had been stopped and finally in 2011 it was abandoned. At the first time Lanivs had visited it together with Lucy and found out many interesting things there (pic 1–63).

After the first visit of the airport by Lanivs Mutabor decided to look carefully into the satellite photographs. And he had found out a small building somewhere nearby the runway end. Together with Lanivs they had come to the conclusion that the house was a inner marker of the airport. So once friends had decided to explore it hoping that it could be even more intact than the airport, since it was more harder to access. The area was highly overgrown with bush and trees, but finally explorers managed to find the building. And their disappointment was too high, since they found it completely empty! (pic 104–109). Then Mutabor and Lanivs walked a little bit in the airport itself (pic 110–115).

There is the second airport in Novgorod, more precisely, the military airbase "Krechevitsy". For a long time is had been still being in use, but some related locations nearby it had already become abandoned. But in 2015 military men had left the base and we finally had visited it (pic 116–162).
