Military
Smirnykh (air base)
Smirnykh (Russian: Смирных) is an abandoned Soviet airbase in Sakhalin, Russia located 2 km east of the village of the same name. It appeared in June 1966 KH-7 imagery with a runway length of 2,000 m. It was expanded sometime after this to 2,500 m with a new extension of revetments added. An ICAO report on the 1983 downing of Korean Air Flight 007 indicates that it was carried out by the PVO (Soviet Anti-Air Defense) with MiG-23 fighter aircraft from Smirnykh.
The airfield is no longer in use and the runways have not been maintained in decades.

Somewhere I Wanna Go
by: Tracy Byrd(Mark Nesler - Tony Martin - Tom Shapiro)
Here's the thing about your memory
It could be a thousand miles it could be as many days
But when it's sweeping over me
I'm so powerless it just caries me away.
And where it's taking me I never know
The only thing that I can do is hope
It's somewhere I wanna go.
Not that January night under that street light
With the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean
But they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears
Your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes
Somewhere I wanna go.
Like that weekend when we just took off
Driving in that April sun anywhere the feeling went
We ended up in Montreal
Couldn't understand a word but we learned to laugh in French
Where you memory wants to take me I don't know
The only thing that I can do is hope
It's somewhere I wanna go.
Not that January night under that street light
With the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean
But they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears
Your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes
Somewhere I wanna go.

Make it somewhere I wanna go, somewhere I wanna go
Dancing down at Mardi Gras, that little motel room in Arkansas
The nights we just sat up and talked, somewhere I wanna go
