Rob, I think Keflavik is listed as Iceland_1985_007_B81 in DB3000.
D’oh!
You’re totally right, I wonder why they gave it that name? Oh well, my mistake for not checking closely enough.
Mostly because we weren't perfect and Rag was focused on his Cold War campaign when working on it. Next time Doc's Delorean rolls up I'll add it to the list[8D]
Here is Galena Air Force Station in Western Alaska. Galena was a Forward Operating Base in Alaska during the Cold War, often hosting detachments from the fighter squadrons based at Elmendorf. With the break up of the Soviet Union Galena was made redundant in 1993 and closed although it remains an active civilian facility today.
And here is King Salmon Airport, in the southwest of the Alaskan mainland. A commercial airport, it also has had a military presence, with fighter detachments often based here to patrol the border with the USSR.
This is Sheppard AFB, a major training base near Wichita Falls Texas. Equipped with four runways and plentiful hangars, it is home to the 80th Flying Training Wing and 82nd Training Wing (non-flying). A check of aerial imagery indicates it would not be odd to find really any type of plane in the USAF or Allied inventory here. Was also a SAC base from 1960-66.
Dobbins ARB: Dobbins Air Reserve Base is located in the suburbs of Atlanta to the northwest. Originally constructed with nothing around it, suburban sprawl has since enveloped the base, leading to predictable calls to close the base, which, so far, have been rebuffed. The USAF uses it as home for a C-130 squadron and has served multiple needs in the past. The base is also home to major production facilities for Lockheed-Martin, which I've included in this build.
Wright-Patterson AFB: Located northeast of Dayton, Ohio, this 100+ year old facility has a long history. It's currently the HQ for the Air Material Command and home to a C-17 unit. It is also notorious with conspiracy theorists for being a purported storage place for captured extraterrestrial spacecraft and this occupants. Why the US government would choose to store such items here at a base surrounded by suburban civilian uses rather than more remote facilities out west makes little sense to me but to each their own. During the 1960's the base also had a B-52 squadron under SAC on strategic alert based here. I think I identified where the ammo facilities are (were?) but it the various components are a guess.
Little Rock AFB is home to multiple C-130 Squadrons serving in the USAF, USAFR and ARNG. In the past, it was originally a SAC base with B-47's, B-58's and KC-135's.
Here are two facilities located in the high desert of Southern California, halfway between Palmdale and Victorville. According to aerial imagery on Google Earth, both were poorly developed private airfields. Beginning in the early 21st century, each one began a significant transformation, each acquiring new, longer runways, tarmacs, hangars and other facilities. Each soon sported the General Atomics symbol on their tarmacs and a review of the different years shows at times various UAV's on the ramp. I don't plan to do many "civilian" facilities but these might prove to be interesting facilities/targets for an enterprising scenario builder.
Russian Southern Military District circa 2022. Looking for feedback/comments. Some aircraft are not represented, but in general this should hit most of the main air bases with full air base facility loadouts.
Bulgarian Black Sea facing facilities - focused on NATO/U.S. focused bases, and a few Bulgarian economic targets. Feedback is requested, I am building this for a scenario, and any comments are welcome. This file includes:
- Varna Naval Base
- Atiya Naval Base
- Bezmer Air Base
- Graf Ignatievo AB (with 12 x MIG-29)
- Novo Selo Range
- Aitos Logistics Center
- Tyulenovo Oil Field
- Tyulenovo Oil Processing
- Kichevo SAM site (S-300)
- Chernomorets SAM site (S-300)
So since Command is starting to make land warfare more interesting, I thought I'd include a couple of small test facilities to try out.
Rasdorf: A small community adjacent to the inner-German border, in 2020 it totaled less than 2,000 people. This was a fairly easy village to do and, where I could, I tried to include a few of the modern business names based on what I could glean from Google.
US Camp Point Alpha: An observation post immediately east of Rasdorf and located across from a similar East German facility. It typically served as home to a troop of armored cavalry from the 11th ACR and was there to serve as early warning of any immediate tensions. This was a famous post, with high level visitors from time to time and it has been preserved as a museum.
A couple Cold War Bulgarian bases that aren't in the Import/Export folder:
Cheshnegirovo was a major Mig-23 base in Southern Bulgaria, at one point all Mig-23 in the Bulgarian AF operated out of there but in the late CW it focused on the 'BN' fleet of Ftr/bombers. There is enough room here that it could easily host several Soviet squadrons as well (and will in my next Med Fury scenario)
Dolna Mitropoliya was the Bulgarian AF training base. It is medium sized in the North western area of the country. I think it is still in operation and it looks like there is a kick-butt Go-kart track operating there too. There are very few facilities and not much protection
I was surprised this was not in the Import/Export files. It probably needs some more detailed attention than I gave it but here it is. 44x HAS and a bunch of Ammo bunkers make it quite a target.
