Description

The 61st Helicopter Air Base, commonly referred to as Titu or Boteni Air Base, is located in Dâmbovița County. The facility served the Romanian Air Force from World War II through the early jet period with MiG-15 operations, later transitioning to helicopter units consisting of IAR-330 and IAR-316 aircraft. During the early 2000s force restructuring, the base was disbanded. The airfield infrastructure was subsequently transferred and incorporated into the Renault Titu automotive testing facility.
