Cap. Juan Manuel Boiso Lanza Air Base


Cap. Juan Manuel Boiso Lanza Air Base is an air base of the Uruguayan Air Force located in the Montevideo Department of Uruguay. Air Brigade III, which includes the Nº7 Squadron is stationed on the field. The Air Force Command and Staff College is also on the base.
The air base is considered the birthplace of the Uruguayan Air Force, because the first airplanes such as the T-6 Texan and the Curtiss Falcon were assembled in the base workshops. The first helicopter squadron was also formed at the base before the unit was transferred to Carrasco.
The streets bordering the base are Avenue de las Instrucciones, Av. General San Martin, and Av. Pedro de Mendoza. A railway line forms the south border of the base.
The air base has a grass runway, but does not currently have a control tower. Air operations are very limited.
The Adami non-directional beacon is located west-northwest of Boiso Lanza Air Base. The Carrasco VOR-DME is located east of the air base.
