About Sormovo Airfield
Sormovo is an airfield in Russia, located on the outskirts of Nizhny Novgorod, some 8 km (5.0 mi) from the center city, just west of the Sokol Aircraft Plant. Legally, it is within the city's Moskovsky District, but it is commonly referred to by the name of the much better-known neighborhood of Sormovo, which is to the north of the airfield. Moreover, between 1956 and 1970 the airfield was in fact part of the Sormovsky District.
