Correct! Sochi/Adler. AER/URSS

A certain Irish airline would be delighted with this airport. It really is the nearest one to Sochi, even though it's just a few miles from Abkhazia!
The picture was taken in 1995 when the old terminal (under the tower) was still in use. The new building was 90% completed but in the post-Communist turmoil they ran out of money and it hadn't been completed by that time. No doubt it will be in time for the Olympics, particularly since it is now owned by Mr Deripaska.
