Slatina Air Base

Slatina Air Base

Slatina (aеродром Слатина, aerodrom Slatina) airport near Priština was the second largest underground airport in former Yugoslavia. The largest one was Željava Airport near Bihać. After 1999 NATO bombing in Yugoslavia, this object was occupied by KFOR.

Before the Yugoslav military withdrawal, Saltina was home of 83. LAP and its units, 123. LAE "Lavovi" and 124. LAE "Gromovi". Those squadrons were equipped with MiG-21 Bis and MiG-21 UM aircraft.

Today it is home of some KFOR aircraft.
