Shadrinsk (also Sadrinsk) is a former air base in Russia located 6 km southeast of Shadrinsk. It was home to 600th Military-Transport Aviation Regiment (military unit 78684) using the Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft between 1992 and 1998 as part of the 18th Guards Military-Transport Aviation Division.[1]

In 1998, the 600th Military-Transport Aviation Regiment was disbanded; in the late 1990s, the airfield was abandoned and the concrete runway was dismantled.
