About RAAF Base Curtin
RAAF Base Curtin, also sometimes RAAF Curtin (IATA: DCN, ICAO: YCIN) is a joint use Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) military air base and civil airport located 19 nautical miles (35 km; 22 mi) southeast of the town of Derby, Western Australia. As it is one of the RAAF's three bare bases, no RAAF units are permanently based at Curtin and it is maintained by a small caretaker staff during peacetime.
The base is named in honour of former Prime Minister John Curtin.
