LFMI - Istres/Le Tube

File Description:
Welcome to Istres Air Base/BA 125. Istres is an Air Base use by the French Air Force and is also a base for the helicopter squadron. It has a large repair and is a large training facility. It's common to see the Alpha jet visiting the BA 125 during their training. Alpha Jet used by the Patrouille de France.

The Air base is large enough to accomodate all type of aircrafts and even up to the B747. It has 1 major Rwy 15/33 of 12303 Ft /3750 m. I have included the 15C/33C grass rwy for use by ligth G.A aircraft and other Gliders. Put up on a nice landing and Hot dog will be waiting for you down there! ;) I have developped all aprons, included the ILS rwy 15 and developped the Tower area, increased the amount of parking due to the space available. Istres has a tremendous amount of parking spot. I have included the chart as well for VFR traffic. 2 Parallel Rwy to the active one, these are closed! do not mistake them with the grass one! ;) Have fun!
