Canoas air base provides air defence for southern Brazil with its F-5 Tiger aircraft.
Basically, the base consists of a ramp with sun sheds, a big hangar, some smaller ones and the runway. However, the air base is surrounded by woods, rivers and scrub-land to the north, east and south. The western perimeter consists largely of a wall and suburbs built all the way up to the fence line.
The air base is situated just north of Porto Alegre, close to Salgado Filho international airport. From Porto Alegre, simply head north on the Avenida Guilherme Schell that becomes BR-118 further north. The base is north of the BR-290 and Gravataí river and between the cities of Canoas and Cachoeirinha.
