Construction of the airfield near Veszprém began in 1938; in 1951 control passed to the Soviet side, which completed the concrete runway. In the 1960s the aircraft were moved to Kunmadaras and part of the airfield returned to the Hungarian army, while a Soviet military town with housing blocks, a school and a kindergarten remained next to it. The Soviet servicemen left the town in 1990; it was guarded until 1996 and then abandoned.
Аэродром близ Веспрема начали строить в 1938 году; в 1951 году управление им приняла советская сторона, достроившая бетонную полосу. В 1960-е годы самолёты были переведены в Кунмадараш, и часть аэродрома вернулась к венгерской армии, а рядом остался советский военный городок с жилыми домами, школой и детским садом. Советские военнослужащие покинули городок в 1990 году; до 1996 года он охранялся, затем был заброшен.
