About Rtishchevo Air Base
Rtishchevo is an air base in Russia located 6 km northwest of Rtishchevo. It is a Let L-410UVP-E Turbolet training base. Very few structures exist near the airfield.
The base is home to the 666th Training Aviation Regiment of the 786th Aviation Training Centre for the Training of Flight Personnel.
