Captain Ernesto Esguerra Cubides Air Base is a Colombian military airfield at Tres Esquinas in the Caquetá Department, operated by the Colombian Aerospace Force. It hosts Combat Air Command No. 6 (CACOM 6) and its single hard runway, equipped with an ILS, makes it a notable fixed point for military air operations deep in the southern Colombian jungle region.
Captain Ernesto Esguerra Cubides Air Base, also known as Tres Esquinas Air Base, is a Colombian military aerodrome operated by the Colombian Aerospace Force (Fuerza Aeroespacial Colombiana, FAC). It serves as the home of Combat Air Command No. 6 (Comando Aéreo de Combate No. 6, CACOM 6) and is named in honour of Captain Ernesto Esguerra Cubides. For a simulator pilot, the field is of interest as a remote military base in the Amazonian lowlands of Caquetá, with a single lit, ILS-equipped hard runway serving counterinsurgency air operations.
The base lies at Tres Esquinas in the Caquetá Department of southern Colombia, in the Amazon basin lowlands. It sits at coordinates 0.7459, -75.2341 and an elevation of 646 feet. As a military installation it is assigned to CACOM 6 and forms part of Colombia's air defence and counterinsurgency infrastructure in the region.
The field has one physical runway, 07/25, a hard-surfaced strip 6,231 feet long. Both directions are lit, and runway 25 is equipped with an ILS for instrument approaches.
The base publishes several frequencies: A/D 124.5 MHz, approach control (CTL APP) 122.3 MHz, ground (GND) 126 MHz, and RDO 555.6 MHz. The tower operates as "Ernesto Esguerra TWR" on 117.3 MHz. Runway 25 carries an ILS for instrument approaches.
The air base was established as a Colombian military facility and named in honour of Captain Ernesto Esguerra Cubides. It is assigned to the Colombian Aerospace Force's Combat Air Command No. 6 (CACOM 6), which historically operated two squadrons devoted to counterinsurgency operations from Tres Esquinas in Caquetá.
The base remains an active Colombian Aerospace Force installation, home to CACOM 6, which conducts counterinsurgency air operations from Tres Esquinas. As a military airfield, prior permission is required before any flight to or from the base.
