This is y our reminder that the Aviation Museum is the only place in the world you can see a production F-117 (or pieces of it I guess).

Have any time to see some sights? If not, hopefully you’ll at least get to eat some good food.

According to Wikipedia, it’s a third-tier “world city”. Apparently that means they buy in a version of the new world order that will probably just screw them in the end.
GLHF, stay safe.

Belgrade, it’s a nice town. A little too close to Bozeman tho.

Awesome, thank you! I’m saving these on gmaps. Hopefully I’ll have some time off, even though the schedule seems
pretty tight. We’ll see. I’d love to see the car and aviation museum..

I f you need a place to stay I can talk to my Serbian neighbor and he can set you up with his relatives. Because he offers to do this for anyone on any vacation or trip... regardless of where they are going...
“Oh, where are you going for vacation ? Why would you go there? You should go to Belgrade instead! You will like it, I promise ! I will call my (insert random family member) , you stay with them ! See, saves you money already, Serbia is much better choice for vacation ! ”
He also tried to sell me a rifle the day I moved into the neighborhood. So take that how you will.

Looking at the photos in the link posted by davesaddiction, I found this:
What do you suppose that is from ? Maybe a B-57?

You can see it bottom middle here:
Seems a bit weird, from the size and the attached structure, I’d say it should be a wing of some sort, but the roundel and flag point the wrong way for that. It doesn’t really look like a tail to me though. The only manned aircraft we lost there during the operations in the ‘90s were two F-16s and the F-117, and it sure doesn’t look like it came off any of those.

I’m not seeing what you are referring to in the Google photo.
This is a B-57 with the underwing fuel tanks. The Soviets shot down a number of US reconnaissance aircraft during the Cold War, and that strange roundel/flag combination may have been in an effort to avoid getting shot down. It’s just a guess though.

Here:
The wing shape look wrong to be a regular B-57, like these at the boneyard:
It looks considerably more like the B-57F:
but my quick measurements show ~30ft from wingtip to nacellely thing on the Belgrade item, and ~40ft on the RB-57F
The R B-57D had a wing span between the other two, but it had more squared off wingtip, as well as trapezoidal shape like the earlier B-57s .
