Besançon - Thise Airport, Civil aerodrome in Thise municipality, France.

Besancon-Thise Airport extends across a grassy plain at 245 meters altitude, featuring a 970-meter grass runway for aircraft operations.

The hangars, built in 1938 following Eiffel's architectural principles, served as a base for medical evacuations during World War II.

Five different aviation associations bring together 150 members for activities including powered flight, gliding, ultralight aircraft, and model aircraft.

The aerodrome offers introductory flights, pilot training programs, and aircraft rentals for aviation enthusiasts.

The 5000-square-meter hangars still bear the marks of enemy fire from World War II, serving as a testament to their military history.
