Nogaro Aerodrome
Airport in Nogaro, France
Nogaro Aerodrome (ICAO: LFCN) is located in Nogaro in the Gers department of the Occitanie region of France.
The aerodrome was built in 1932 on the initiative of Jean Armagnac, municipal councillor of Nogaro, to accommodate the motor flight activities of the Bas-Armagnac aero-club which he founded and which began with a Caudron C.270 Luciole. In 1946, a gliding section was added.
In 1960, an unused piece of land was sold to his son Paul to create an autodrome, which would become the Circuit Paul Armagnac. Its longest straight, called the "airfield straight", runs parallel to the grass runway.
