## Description

Volkel Air Base (IATA: UDE, ICAO: EHVK) is located in Volkel near Uden, North Brabant, at approximately 13 metres — the Royal Netherlands Air Force's (RNLAF) most important operational combat aircraft base, known as the home of the F-35A Lightning II squadrons and historically as a storage location for US tactical nuclear weapons under NATO nuclear sharing. The airfield is exclusively reserved for military purposes; no civilian operations. No commercial cargo operations; for air freight in the region, Eindhoven Airport (IATA: EIN) is the nearest option.
