Shiraz has an interesting airport that is both used as civil airport for this historic city as well as a military base with fighters and transports.
Be aware, plane spotting is neither understood nor appreciated in Iran!
North side
In the northwest corner there is a small shelter area, mostly occupied by stored transports. Just west of the threshold, between runway 11L and R, is a small ramp and hangar used by helicopters. Next to that is that ramp holding the active C-130, IL-76, P-3, and PC-6 fleet. East of the large ramp there are two smaller ones with a hangar next to it. It is unclear which residents use those. Further to the east, about halfway down the runway, the civil terminal can be found.
South side
The southeast side has a large ramp with no adjacent hangars. It is unclear if these are planned to be built or if a unit occupies the ramp space. Further to the west there is a large ramp opposite the civil terminal that holds the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps aircraft. Su-25 and T-27 are believed to be based here. Lastly, the southwest corner is home of the Su-24 Fencer with two ramps and several hangars and some shelters as well.
The airfield is in the south eastern outskirts of town, west of the highway heading south to Fasa.
