General

The air base of Sidi Slimane houses the entire Mirage F1 fighter fleet. It is situated in a rather desolate area about 10 kms west of Sidi Slimane village along the main road to Kénitra.

Around the Airport

1Eastern approach

The base is in a rough patch of land but various tracks run through the farmland around it. Fruit trees and bee hives can be found and every now and then farmers inspect their yield. On the east side there is a sand track right along the fence of the base. Follow it southward, and park your car when the track gets too bad to negotiate. You should be able to reach the approach of runway 26. Some shelters are visble before the road forks to the east.

2Western approach

Just past the gate there is another sand track leading through farmland. Again you have to work your way through rough terrain or abandon your car. The large oil reservoirs can be clearly seen, shown as black dots on the map. The approach of runway 08 is further southwest from that. Whether you have a clear view of the ramps that are situated on this side of the base, is unknown.
