This particular plane is from 1968 and still being used.

Those planes come in army and civil versions. This particular plane was an army version it has gun turrets on the plane. That strange bulge on the front part of the plane was that turret – it was transparent bulletproof glass but now it is covered with steel and painted.

And here is one more turret! Looks like even guns are intact. Just in case?

Now lets see what’s inside. Trucks can enter the plane by itself. This place is not hermetically sealed during the flight so it is not recommended to stay here for a long.

There are three doors in this place.
