In a hidden mountain air base, Albania stores MiGs for sale On a barren hillside in northern Albania lies a portal to the country's communist past: a massive steel door creaks open to reveal a hidden former air base burrowed into the heart of the mountain. Made up of 600 metres of tunnels that once teemed with military life, the secret Gjader air base is now a tomb for dozens of hulking communist-era fighter jets collecting dust in the darkness. Three decades after shedding communism, Albanian is trying to sell off the Soviet and Chinese-made MIG fighter jets, drawing interest from museums and collectors. IMAGES of the air base AND SOUNDBITES from a former pilot who worked there, Albanian's military Chief of Defence, and a French businessman who has signed up to buy on of the fighter jets
