Baza 71 Aeriană/71st Airbase (Luna)
One of the bases of the Romanian Air Force.
The Romanian Air Force built Câmpia Turzii airfield between 1952 – 1953, on the purpose of reorganization of the military aviation and its outfitting with IL-10 aircraft, made in the former USSR and designed to ground attack.
In 1969, an air defence-artillery unit was created on the airfield in order to protect it against the air attacks.
In 1970 a small unit was founded for the airfield maintenance during the training of the air force pilots and paratroops.
On the 30th of June 1982, on the Deveselu airfield – belonging to the 91st Fighter Regiment, the 48th Fighter Squadron was established as the core of the 71st Airbase. The squadron inventory included MIG-21 fighter aircraft.
On the 30th of June 1986, the 48th Fighters Squadron was transformed into the 71st Fighter Regiment and continued its tasks on the Deveselu airfield.
On the 9th of June 1987, the Regiment personnel and inventory were deployed on the Câmpia Turzii airfield, and on the 9th of July 1987, for the first time a MIG-21 took off from the airfield for a training flight .
On the 1st of June 1995, the regiment split into the 71st Fighter Airbase and the 71st Fighter Group, both deployed on this airfield.
All the time from its foundation, the unit has placed itsself among the best units of the Air Force, due to the pilots’ proficiency in carrying out flight missions, day and night, and all-weather, as well as the responsibility of the logistic support personnel.
In January 2001, the unit received the first MIG-21 Lancer fighters and the pilots started the transition for the new version.
The 71st Airbase was founded on the 1st of June 2002 according to the Armed Forces’ Reorganization Program.
