The Grootfontein Air Force Base is an air base of the Namibian Air Force in Grootfontein, a town in the Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia. The air base is about 4km (02miles) south of the center of Grootfontein.[3]
It was formerly an air base for the South African Air Force. It was also the headquarters of the Namibian Air Force until these were moved to Karibib Air Force Base in 2016.[4]
The Grootfontein non-directional beacon (Ident: GF) and VOR-DME (Ident: GFV) are located on the field.[5] [6] [7]
