Description
Agoncillo Air Base, also known as Acuartelamiento "Héroes del Revellín", is located in Spain. It operates as a dual-use facility, functioning as a joint military and civil aerodrome that shares physical infrastructure with the civil Logroño-Agoncillo Airport managed by AENA.
The military installation is operated by the Spanish Army Airmobile Force. It hosts the Batallón de Helicópteros de Maniobra III (BHELMA III) at the "Héroes del Revellín" barracks. The unit operates NH90 helicopters, which are also referred to as Caiman, 'Sarrio', or HT-29.
Although the military and civil components utilize the same airfield, the military base maintains independent meteorological reporting. It uses the location indicator LELO, distinct from the civil airport's LERJ identifier.
