Description
Lintong Air Base is a People's Liberation Army Air Force airfield in Lintong District, about 20 km north-east of central Xi'an in Shaanxi province, and is known locally as Yaocun airfield (窑村机场). It falls under the Central Theater Command Air Force. The base has a single concrete runway, designated 05/23, about 2,800 m long. It is a distinct airfield from the former Xi'an Xiguan Airport in the west of the city, which served as Xi'an's airport from the 1920s until its closure on 1 September 1991, when Xi'an Xianyang International Airport took over.
Lintong is home to the 107th Bomber Regiment of the 36th Bomber Division, which operates H-6H, H-6K and H-6M bombers. The division's other regiment, the 108th, is based at Wugong.
