The abandon airstrip has since been graded/altered with earth moving equipment as evidenced in Bing Satellite imagery - Google and Wikimapia Satellite imagery are much older. The Syrian Army had used the location for helicopter operations, so may have reconstructed some type of shorter(?) airstrip in that approximate area. A June 2016 NSyA assault used this base - some pictures purportedly of the 'airport' show new buildings, but it was unclear if these were taken at this former base or airstrip.
