Kamensk-Uralsky (air Base)
Kamensk-Uralsky, also known as Travyany, is a military air base near the village of Travyanskoye in the vicinity of the city of Kamensk-Uralsky, in the Sverdlovsk Oblast.
From 1948 to 1998(?) it was home to the 605th Training Aviation Regiment (UchSH Li-2(?); Il-28; Tu-124Sh; Tu-134Sh; Tu-16) of the Chelyabinsk Higher Military Aviation School of Navigators.
The base is home to the 17th Guards Army Aviation Brigade.
The call sign for the airfield is 'Welcome' (‹See Tfd›Russian: Радушный). In December 2018, the aviation brigade station at the base was reorganized and equipped with Mil Mi-24 attack helicopters, around which a new squadron was formed. Previously the base had been equipped with Mi-8 MTV-5 and Mi-8 MTV-5-1. The airport is notable as one of only two units in Russia that deal with the provision of space flights.
