## Description

Cazaux Air Base (BA 120), set between the Atlantic, pine forest and the Bassin d'Arcachon in France's Gironde, is one of the French Air and Space Force's main centres for fighter-pilot training and air-to-air gunnery. It hosts the CEAM (Centre d'Expertise Aérienne Militaire) and a combat-aircraft school, with Rafale detachments rotating through for firing campaigns. The military field is closed to civil aviation and cargo. For air freight in the Arcachon/Gironde area, Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (IATA: BOD), about 60 km to the north, is the nearest option.
