The Romanian Air Force 71st Air Base is located near the town of Câmpia Turzii, in Cluj County. The 71st Airbase was founded on the 1st of June 2002, according to the Romanian Army Reorganization Program.
Since its foundation, the unit has become one of the best units of the Air Force thanks to the pilots' proficiency in carrying out flight missions, day and night and all-weather, and to the responsibility of the logistic support personnel.
In January 2001, the unit received the first MIG-21 LanceR fighter planes, and the pilots started the transition to the new model.
The base is home to the 711st, 712nd fighter regiments, operating MiG-21 LanceRs and to the 713rd, 714th helicopter regiments, operating IAR-330Ls.
