Samara Kryazh Airport
Samara Kryazh is an air base in Samara Oblast, Russia located 10 km south of Samara. It was probably the site of the GAZ 1 MiG plant; and was thought to be a missile production site.
Military Units numbered 29666 and 40812, mixed aviation detachments, were reported there during the Cold War.
In 2013 it was used as a sports airfield, with a flying club which is a branch of the Central Army Sports Club - Central Sports Club of the Air Forces. Some of the center’s aircraft are located at the Rozhdestveno unpaved airfield, located 15 km to the north. The center provides a full cycle of training for parachutist athletes.
The site is now home to the Special Purpose Aviation Detachment Samara on the National Guard of Russia which flies the Mil Mi-8T.
