Horodnia (also Gorodnya, Horodnya, Horodnye, or Gorodnye) was a flight training air base in Ukraine located 4 km east of Horodnia.

It was home to the 703rd Training Aviation Regiment flying 101 Aero L-39 Albatros, "C" model. The 703rd Training Aviation Regiment moved from Uman to Gorodnya in 1965; it formed part of the Chernigov Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots (17th Air Army/Air Forces of the Kyiv Military District). The regiment was taken over by Ukraine in early 1992.[1]
