Pápa Air Base (LHPA)


Until 1997, the HDF 47th Air Base at Pápa, Hungary was home to a squadron of MiG- 23 Floggers, and until August 2000 it also housed a regiment of MiG-21 aircraft. In 2009, following extensive runway and taxiway renovations and the construction of new facilities and hangars, the multinational Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) Heavy Airlift Wing (HAW) took up residence at the base with its fleet of three C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. With the departure of the MiG aircraft, and the addition of new aprons and infrastructure, Pápa Air Base became an ideal deployment hub for international exercises. The base’s suitability for large- scale exercises like Fire Blade is not only due to the ample space and generally favorable geographical location and weather conditions, but also its surrounding sparsely populated areas and proximity to training grounds and live-fire ranges. During this year’s and previous editions of Fire Blade, frequent use was made of locations such as the Joint Training Center in Újdörögd, the Hajmáskér gunnery range and several locations around Lake Balaton.
