    As i know this airport was built by Netherland's in 1930's as told by my mom's before... This place has became one of base camp from Netherland's in World War II, finally in 40's Nippon occupied it. Since the great Independence's of Indonesia issued, Indonesia's army had taken over.. In the 1980's "Merpati" made this airport as one of "Pioneer Flight" to Jakarta, serving by Cassa (Capung) flew by wire..Uniquely..not far from this airport, left side exactly there was railway Purwokerto - Wonosobo... Unfortunately, right now, there's no comersial flight here..basicly has become Indonesia's Air Force base... For further info don't hesitate to contact me Toto Supriyanto +62-21-65301234 ext. 227 or 0815-8820525 Regards Toto Sorry my English too bad...heheh

    wirasaba itu sebuah desa, yang pada jaman keraton pajang merupakan kadipaten. Wirasaba menjadi cikal bakal 4 kabupaten di karesidenan banyumas.
