Baza 57 Aeriana, formerly also called "Mihail Kogalniceanu", operated two squadrons of MiG-29 Fulcrums until early 2003 when it was decided to withdraw the type from service. One squadron operated some eight Lancer-As and a Lancer-Bs which were based at Borcea-Festesti until April 2004 when Baza 57 Aeriana was disbanded altogether. The base is now an annex from Baza 86 Aeriana with the helicopter squadron of Baza 57 Aeriana being reassigned to Baza 86 Aeriana. The based helicopters were previously assigned to Grupul 59 Elicoptere at Tuzla which closed in late 2001. In storage at the base are the MiG-29s which were previously based here awaiting their fates. For the civil orientated spotters: Acvila Air and TAROM fly regular services to Mihail Kogalniceanu.
The airport can be found folling road 2A from Constanta to Hirsova. The airport can be found easily as it is signposted from this road.
