Exploring "Object 505" - abandoned military base in Croatia

Exploring the Željava airbase, code named "Object 505" in Croatia. It was built as one of the most expensive and secretive military projects of former Yugoslavia. The photo is a homage to classic films like Indiana Jones, but set in a modern "post apocalyptic" setting of a now non existent country.
