About Wujah Al Hajar Air Base
Wujah Al Hajar Air Base also know as Hamat Air Base (Arabic: قاعدة حامات الجوية) is a Lebanese Air Force base in Hamat, Lebanon. It was built in the mid-1970s. The airport was however never used for civilian purposes. Although its heavily damaged runway (numerous holes as result of airstrikes) has been patched, the airfield is currently used only by the Lebanese Air Force with MD-530F Defenders helicopters and Super Tucano light attack aircraft. The airfield is also used by the Special Forces school.
