Misrata Airport is an airport in Misrata, Libya (IATA: MRA). It also acts as an air base and training center for the Libyan Air Force.
The Libyan Air Force operates the Soko G-2 aircraft extensively at Misrata in both a training and counterinsurgency capacity. The first Libyan warplane to challenge the no-fly zone during the 2011 Libyan Uprising was a G-2 from Misrata. It was reported to have been promptly shot down by the French Air Force. A few hours later an armed forces spokesman specified that the plane was destroyed on the runway with an AASM air-to-ground missile just after it had landed.
