Air field Heden (Swedish: flygbas Fält32 Heden, also known as F32 Heden or Boden) was an airfield 745 kilometers north of Stockholm
The airfield was built in 1940.
Unlike Unbyn it was not abandoned after World War II.
It was modernised to BAS-60 standard and received an attack lay out with 'flower' and 'pretzel' dispersals.
A fairly large dispersal was built to the west of therunway.
After the update it remained in use throughout the 1960s and 1970s as an exercise air field.

Currently the airfield is used by the Boden garrisson as a training ground for vehicle and protection services training.
It is still intact, with no obstructions built on or immediately next to the runway.
