Hi,

Happy New Year all.

Does anyone have up to date information on spotting in and around Tirana,

Any info greatly appreciated.

The Armed Forces Museum has moved from central Tirana to just outside the city,https://www.google.com/maps/place/Muzeu ... FQAw%3D%3D

The Migs and transport relics are still located at Tirana Airport but behind the fence line on the Albanian Air Force part of the airport, easily visible and only a couple of minutes walk from the terminal. The civil airport at Tirana is very much under development still, as is the area surrounding the airport with a new motorway toll road just opening when I was there in October. It's best to find a spot outside the area of the airport where you can view arrivals or departures and there are some dramatic backdrops especially at sunset. The Albanians are very friendly and if in doubt just ask around.

Thanks for the info Ranger,

Are the Migs etc readable with binos ? Or is it a case of counting them?

Looking forward to our trip... Defo will get to the museum..
