Arboga Airfield (ICAO: ESQO) serves the city of Arboga in Västmanland County, Sweden. It is a former Swedish Airforce backup base located outside of Arboga used by the Test Unit of SWAF for tests of airborne missiles[citation needed]. Today, the airfield is solely used by the local flying club[citation needed].

Facilities

[edit]

The field resides at an elevation of 33 feet (10 m) above mean sea level. It has a 2,000-by-40-metre (6,562 ft × 131 ft) asphalt paved runway (15/33) with a parallel taxiway. Currently, only 700 metres (2,300 ft) is used, because of a road over the runways southern end where former Air Force revetments can be seen.
