The Romanian Air Force 86th Air Base is located near the town of Feteşti, Ialomiţa County. It is currently the home of the 861st, 862nd Fighter regiments (operating MiG-21 LanceRs) and of the 863rd Helicopter Regiment - located at the Mihail Kogălniceanu Airport (operating IAR-330Ls).
Since 1997, at the 86th Air base, a squadron has begun intensive training, in order to become capable of carrying out joint missions with NATO forces. A special training program has been initiated, aiming at a higher level of interoperability, and for this purpose the Fighter-Bomber Squadron was fully equipped with MiG-21 LanceR's. By the end of 2000, as a result of the Romanian Air Force reform, the structure of the 86th Air base was changed again. The 86th Air base has now a modular structure, fitting NATO's airbase model and offering a real background for achieving appropriate interoperability at this level, with the declared purpose to provide the necessary basis to plan, organize, command and accomplish the missions assigned.
