Flight Simulator Flights at EPOK Oksywie Military Air Base

Oksywie is a military air base on the Baltic coast at Gdynia in Poland's Pomeranian Voivodeship, also known locally as Gdynia-Kosakowo or Gdynia-Babie Doły. It offers a long, ILS-equipped main runway alongside a shorter crosswind strip, making it a notable fixture for anyone flying the Gdynia-Gdańsk coastal area in the simulator.

Overview

Oksywie Military Air Base sits on the Hel Peninsula side of Gdynia, on Poland's Baltic coast, and is known by several names including Gdynia-Kosakowo Airfield, Gdynia-Oksywie and Gdynia-Babie Doły. It is operated as a military installation, and its combination of a substantial hard runway with instrument approach capability alongside a shorter crosswind runway gives it an interesting profile for simulator pilots exploring the northern Polish coast.
