Hatzerim Israeli Air Force Base (Hebrew: בסיס חיל-האוויר חצרים, Bsis Heil HaAvir Hatzerim) (ICAO: LLHB) is an airbase of the Israeli Air Force located in the Negev Desert on the western outskirts of Beersheba, near Kibbutz Hatzerim. The base was constructed during the early 1960s and was operational as of 3 October 1966, being the first airbase not based around an existing RAF base. Hatzerim is also the location of the Israeli Air Force Museum, which opened its doors in 1977 and has allowed public access since June 1991. The IAF Flight Academy has been housed at Hatzerim since April 1966 and the Israeli Aerobatic Team is located there as well.
