An aerial view, taken 17 November, 1995, of Fokto Air Base, a former Soviet helicopter base in southern Hungary. A large hangar, offices and what looks like a correctional custody facility are on the right. A rail head is to the left. U.S. Air Force and Army units from across Europe and the United States combined forces from 16-21 November, 1995, to survey the condition of four airfields in Hungary for possible use by U.S. forces should they be sent as a peacekeeping force in Bosnia. One of the bases surveyed was Fokto, a former Soviet combat helicopter base in southern Hungary now closed. Fokto, considered a bare base, has been closed for years and the facilities are in poor condition
