Tunoshna (also Tunoshnoye, or Tunoschna) (Russian: Аэропорт Туношна) (IATA: IAR, ICAO: UUDL) is an airport in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia located 18 km southeast of Yaroslavl. It services medium-sized airliners. It doesn't serve any regular line.
During the Cold War it was a key interceptor aircraft base. It was home to 415 IAP (415th Interceptor Aviation Regiment) flying MiG-23P aircraft during the 1980s and 1990s[1]. This unit was decommissioned in 1992 and the planes were sent to Rzhev.
Mathematician Andrey Kolmogorov grew up in Tunosha.
