Комендантский аэродром

Komendantsky Aerodrome is a former military airfield in the Primorsky District of Saint Petersburg featuring original runways and aviation buildings. The site sits within a residential neighborhood and retains several structures from its operational past.

The aerodrome was founded in the 1930s and served as a strategic military base during World War II for air operations. After the war, the site gradually transitioned into a residential area while maintaining some aviation activities.

The area retains its name from a former military commander and carries forward its connection to aviation through the community. Aircraft shows and model flying competitions continue to draw enthusiasts who celebrate the district's aeronautical heritage.

The site is located within an active residential area where some sections are accessible while others remain restricted. Walking through the district allows visitors to observe the preserved structures and understand the original airfield layout.

The site preserves the characteristic layout of a Soviet military airfield with identifiable taxiways and original infrastructure patterns still visible today. This well-preserved arrangement shows how the former base adapted to become part of the urban fabric while maintaining its distinctive ground pattern.
