Sky Crawlers Cougar Base

The the base that Cougar Flight operates from in Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is called Hariyu, but from the maps, it’s in the southern part of the Czech republic, in the Brno area. One possibility is the CAF base at Náměšt nad Oslavou.


Here’s a picture from December 2003. The mottled areas off each corner of the northwest end of the runway, and off one side of the southeast end, are earth-covered hardened aircraft shelters, presumably installed after the Lautern raid that destroyed everything on the base except for the runway, the taxiways, the parking aprons, the hangars, the tower, and the BOQ.


In this photo from 2007, you can see four L-159s, one SU-25 Frogfoot, and one SU-17 Fitter parked in front of a hangar. This must be a little like what Hariyu base felt like, with just a handful of planes of disparate types.


NOTE: This updates two prior Cougar Base entries with newly-acquired historical coverage from Google Earth.
