Iswahyudi Airport or Iswahyudi Airfield is an airfield operated by the Indonesian Air Force. It is the main base of several squadrons of Indonesian jet fighters, which include Lockheed Martin F-16A/F-16B, Northrop F-5E Tiger II air combat squadron and BAe Hawk MK53 trainer squadron.
The airfield is located at Maospati, Magetan, near the city of Madiun on the west side of East Java capital province of Surabaya. It is named after Iswahjoedi, an Indonesian aviator who, together with Halim Perdanakoesoema, lost mysteriously in Malacca Strait while going back to Indonesia from India.
Currently, the airport is not used for civilian flights.
