Phu Cat Air Base - Overview

Overview

Phu Cat Air Base is located along the coast, with the airfield located about 14 miles (23 km) inland. After April 1975, the Vietnam People's Air Force operated various captured SVNAF aircraft from the base, including Cessna A-37a and Bell UH-1 Huey. These were replaced in the late 1980s by aircraft from the Soviet Union. Today some abandoned MiG-21 and MiG-17 airframes are on a corner of the airfield.

Although listed as an active VPAF base, recent imagery shows the parking ramp empty of aircraft and the base appears to be closed with no evidence of active use of the facility and activity.
