He should have said look about 2Kms East of his L/L. Looks like an old military site with two **** off big bunkers in the middle. Certainly appears to have had the attention of some bombs in the past.

Just look at the size of that thing! (An-225 at the Gostomel factory).

There's also a neat An-124 taxiing at Kabul 34° 33'35.00"N 69° 13'43.70E
