Maysionvara (air base)
Maysionvara is a former air base in Russia located 22 km north of Suojarvi.[1] A 1962 US satellite analysis showed a 2560 m (8400 ft) runway with no aircraft on the field.[2] It was shown on the 1974 version of Department of Defense Global Navigation Chart No. 3 as having jet facilities. It was likely either a dispersal field or an active military base during the early Cold War era and was closed by the 1960s or 1970s.
