General

Quintero is a very old base military with lots of heritage. It has been refurbished recently and houses various air force units without aircraft. The helicopters of Grupo 9 are said to move in here.

Layout

The airfield has a single north-south strip. The buildings and ramps are in the far northwest corner bordering the beach.

Getting There

The airfield is perched on the beach. From the F-30 northbound road out of Quintero take the Camino A Quintero. This is left at the Juan Pablo II statue. This road runs south along the airfield perimeter.

Around the Airport

2South side approach - p.m.
