| Was there an airfield near Calarasi? It seems there used to be an aeroclubul, see Orizont Aviatic number 3, 2003? If yes where was/is its location? Jeroen |

| Thanks Iama! I think I see it, with beton apron, 1 km north, is not it? That is definiteley a post war agrochemical aerodrome. I am looking for the post WW2 aerodrome where russian two engine bomber(?) aircraft were once based, I was told. Have you of someone from Calarasi heard or know about it? I would be very interested to learn if that is true. Jeroen |

| There was an "radiolocatie" unit with some radars, and one guard of the aeroport small unit - a platoon i think. My uncle has doing his military service at radars, i will ask him if those aeroport guard guys where based in that unit or at the aeroport. In the present from what i heard, radar military unit is empty. Iama |

| Thanks Iama Do you know anything about an airfield (formerly) near Calarasi, Moldova? I have only heard some soviet avia unit was near a town with that name, obviously there is a town with that name more north also. Jeroen |
