🇷🇴 Roșiorii de Vede Airfield

Roșiorii de Vede Airfield (RO-0115) was a military airfield in southern Romania with significant activity during World War II and the early Cold War period. It was utilized by the Luftwaffe in spring 1941 and again in spring and summer 1944, and also served as a base for the Royal Romanian Air Force's 7th Fighter Group during WWII. A CIA report from May 1954 detailed the airfield's infrastructure, including a 3,000 by 80 meter concrete runway under construction, barracks, hangars, a radio and weather station, and underground gasoline tanks, noting its use by the Romanian Air Force with Soviet personnel. Additionally, a parachute training area for Romanian airborne troops, with a barracks complex, was established near Roșiorii de Vede in June 1953.

The airfield is currently classified as CLOSED. Specific details regarding the exact date and reasons for its closure are not publicly available in the provided information. Its historical data primarily points to military operations during and immediately after World War II, suggesting its operational status as an active airfield likely ceased sometime after the mid-1950s. The current status of the site beyond its classification as "closed" is not detailed in the available records.
