El Adem
Gamal Abdel Nasser Airbase (Arabic: قاعدة جمال عبد الناصر الجوية, romanized: Qāʿida Ǧamāl ʿAbd an-Nāṣir Ǧawwiyya) is a Libyan Air Force (Arabic: القوات الجوية الليبية, romanized: al-Quwwāt al-Ǧawwiyya al-Lībiyya, Berber: Adwas Alibyan Ujnna) base, located about 16 km south of Tobruk. It is believed to once have had about 60 or 70 Mirage F.1EDs aircraft assigned.
Before World War II, it had been an Italian Air Force airfield. A number of the former Italian buildings were seen remaining in 2003, during a courtesy visit by former RAF personnel, at which time no military aircraft were evident.
