Lyubsha was an air base in Ukraine located 32 km north of Kalush. It was located south of Lviv near the Polish-Slovak border. It appeared to be a forward staging base. One poorly maintained and small parallel taxiway, and a small ramp were located on the airfield.

History[edit]

In the 1970s, aviators of the 179th Fighter Aviation Regiment practiced landing Sukhoi Su-9s at the advanced deployment airfield in Lubsha.[1]
