Zaragoza Air Base
Zaragoza Air Base is a base of the Spanish Air Force located near Zaragoza, Spain. It was located west of Zaragoza, west of Barcelona, and northeast of Madrid.
Zaragoza is a major base for the Spanish Air Force. Ala 15 (15 Wing) flies two squadrons with eighteen McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets each. Today it also functions as Zaragoza Airport. The U.S. Air Force left, after it had been asked to move out, in April 1992.
==Origins==
The construction work on Zaragoza Airport began in September 1954 with the enlargement and improvement of the existing Spanish Air Force Base located there. United States Navy engineers upgraded the facility for temporary or intermediate use as a war standby base. The first U.S. construction project included strengthening the existing runway and adding overruns at each end. Work on a new concrete runway, , with overruns at each end, began in 1956 and was completed in 1958.
Zaragoza Air Base was a NASA Alternate Space Shuttle Landing Site. Typically this would be used as a Trans-atlantic Abort Landing (TAL) site, although fortunately this was never needed during the Shuttle program. To be chosen as a TAL site, an air base has to meet a number of requirements. For starters, its runway needs to be a minimum of 7,500 feet long. The weather around the base should typically be good landing conditions for the shuttle (clear, low wind speeds, etc.). The base also must have a military-grade Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) system, and be adaptable to special guidance devices NASA uses with the shuttles.
