Kalina Airport in the County of \u015awidwin, in the Communes of Ryma\u0144 and S\u0142awob\u00f3r, near Bia\u0142ogard in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Half of the airport area belongs to the Ryma\u0144 Commune, and the other half to the S\u0142awoborze Commune.<\/p>\n Field of ground highs, grass. RWY 2,500 m x 400 m. In the direction of 11\/29. Former military base of the Soviet Army (CCCP). Coordinates 53\u00b056\u203237\u2033N 15\u00b037\u203213\u2033E. Elevation 49 m above sea level.<\/p>\n The D\u0119bica-Kalina airport is no longer existing. It was created in German times. After World War II, it was a backup airport for Soviet units stationed at the Bagicz Airport near Ko\u0142obrzeg and the Bia\u0142ogard Garrison. In fact, the airport is located in the towns of Poradz and Mirowo. Poradz (Poradz or Petersfelde), zip code 78-314. In the years 1975-1998, the town administratively belonged to the Koszalin Voivodeship. Another town with the same name, Poradz, is located in the \u0141ebski District.<\/p>\n The D\u0119bica-Kalina airport belonged to the 871st Pomeranian Fighter Aviation Regiment. The unit had a JW number. PP 35517. It was part of the 239th Baran\u00f3w Fighter Aviation Division. According to the information available on the Internet, this regiment has had MiG-19 fighter aircraft since 1956. In 1964, the regiment received MiG-21 PF and MiG-21 U fighters. In 1966, the 871st Pomeranian Fighter Aviation Regiment was transferred to Bagicz Airport. At the time of the transfer, the regiment had 39 MiG-21 PFM machines and 2 MiG-21 U machines in stock. After the 871st Pomeranian Fighter Aviation Regiment was moved to Bagicz, D\u0119bica Airport was reclassified as a spare one. No combat unit was stationed there anymore. Transport planes used by the air assault brigade from Bia\u0142ogard landed here sporadically.<\/p>\n There remains the question of the surface of the D\u0119bica-Kalina Airport landing field. There was no concrete runway at the airport. It is true that MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-19, MiG-21 and even Su-7 aircraft are adapted to use ground runways, but operation in such conditions causes additional, numerous failures. First of all, the hydraulic system of the chassis is damaged. Mud and grass clog the undercarriage chambers. Engine failures are much more dangerous. Numerous foreign bodies sucked into the engine cause a decrease in engine thrust, and even their stoppage. Therefore, it is possible that the Soviets at this airport used nets spread over the landing area. The Soviets were already familiar with this type of preparation of the landing field. During World War II, they received such technical means from the USAF to prepare alternate airfields in areas already "liberated" by the Red Army, where USAF bombers could land.<\/p>\n There were few permanent buildings at the Airport, so social conditions were difficult. Presumably, all this was the main reason for the change in the regiment’s dislocation.<\/p>\n Currently (2018) there is a production plant on the site of the former D\u0119bica-Kalina airport.<\/p>\n Written by Karol Placha Hetman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The D\u0119bica-Kalina airport is no longer existing.
