Air Base Oldenburg (german: Fliegerhorst Oldenburg, ICAO: ETNO, before 1993 EDNO) was an air base 360 kilometer west-northwest of Berlin.
Plans for an airfield at the uninhabited Alexander Moor (German: Alexanderheide) military exercise fields north of the city materialised in 1927, but it took until May 1932 before the Oldenburg city council decided on its construction.
On 20 August 1933 the airfield was opened as "Sportflugplatz (sports airfield) Oldenburg/Alexanderheide" during an airshow. As early as 1934 the Luftwaffe took over the airfield. They invested heavily in the infrastructure of what became "Fliegerübungsstelle (Flight Training Center) Oldenburg" under the cover name 'Kumpel'. At that time it got its final shape, albeit without the long hardened runway. From 1939 several units utilised the air base.
1 August 1937 - "Flugzeugführerschule (B) Oldenburg"
1 April 1939 - "Flugzeugführerschule A/B 32" (using Schneider-Grunau SG-38, Arado Ar-66, Ar-68 and Ar-96, Bücker Bü-131 and Bü-181, Focke-Wulf Fw44 and Fw58, Gotha Go145, Heinkel He-45 and He-72, Junkers W33 and W34 and the Klemm Kl-35).
3 October until 10 December 1939 - 10. Staffel/III. Gruppe/ Zerstörergeschwaders 26 "Horst Wessel" - Messerschmitt Bf 109D fighters
January - March 1940 - II. Gruppe/KG54 "Totenkopf" - Heinkel He-111P bombers
February - May 1940 - Wekusta 1 (Wettererkundungsstaffel 1 - weather reconnaissance squadron 1)
May 1940 - Stab/I./II./KG30 "Adler" - Junkers Ju88
November 1940 - January 1941 - Ergänzungsstaffel (replacement squadron) Jagdgeschwader 27 - Messerschmidt Bf109E fighters
March 1941 - May 1941 - II. Gruppe / Kampgeschwader 3 "Blitz" Dornier Do17Z and Junkers Ju88A bombers
Most of 1942 was quiet with no units stationed at the base.
1943 saw the start of the Defense of the Reich campaign (german: Reichsverteidigung). Many fighter units were brought to Oldenburg:
27 March - 23 June 1943 - III. Gruppe / Jagdgeschwader 54 "Grünherz" - Messerschmidt Bf109G-1/R-2/G-4/G-6
June 1943 - 13 May 1944 - III. Gruppe / Jagdgeschwaders 11 - Messerschmidt Bf109G-1/R-2/G-3/G-4/G-6 for daylight
missions and until November 1943 III. Gruppe / Jagdgeschwader 300 - "Wilde Sau" - night fighter missions.
November 1943 - April 1944 - III. Gruppe / Jagdgeschwader 302 - "Wilde Sau" - night fighter mission
August - November 1944 - 12. Staffel / III. Gruppe / Jagdgeschwader 54 "Grünherz" - Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8 and D-9
from September followed by the entire III./JG 54 with their (FW190D) "Dora 9".
finally, 7., 8. and 9. Staffel of III. Gruppe of Nachtjagdgeschwader 11 were stationed at the airfield between
29 March and 8 April 1945. These fragmented units used the remaining Bf109G and Fw 190A for the final "Wilde Sau" missions.

They transferred the base to the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, who set up a army vehicle repair depot at the airfield. It remained there until 1949. From 1951 Royal Air Force Germany took charge of the air base, who renamed it RAF Oldenburg. They built the hardened runway with two parallel runways, the large platform in front of the hangars and the dispersal sites.The first RAF unit to use the new airfield was 20 Sqn, who were based here from 26 July 1952 with their Vampire fighter bombers. They were joined by 234 Sqn Vampires on 1 August 1952 and by 26 Sqn Vampires on 14 August 1952.In 1953, 20 Sqn and 26 Sqn transferred to Sabre F.6 day fighters. 234 Sqn was withdrawn in October 1953.20 Sqn and 26 Sqn replaced their Sabres with Hunter F.4 and F.6 the following year. In 1956 14 Sqn (a Hunter unit) was added to the resident two Hunter squadrons.The three squadrons remained at RAF Oldenburg until the handover of the airfield to the new Federal Luftwaffe on 22 October 1957. 
Oldenburg in 1964.They then transferred authority to the Luftwaffe, who stationed Air Force Weapons School 10 (german: Waffenschule der Luftwaffe 10) flying 75 Canadian built F-86E Sabres (CL-13B Sabre Mk.5, registered BB-101 to BB-176) at the base.In 1959 Fighter Wing 72 (german: Jagdgeschwader72 or JG72) stood up at the air base, but they almost immediately moved to Leck Air Base.Reconnaissance Wing 54 (german: Aufklarungsgeschwader 52 or AG52) moved in from Erding with Fiat G91 in 1962, and a year later the weapons school tranferred to Jever.When AG52 disbanded in 1964 they were replaced by the return of JG72.Due to a shift in their role, they were merged into Fighter Bomber Wing43 (german: Jagdbombergeschwader43, or JaBoG43), initially flying the F-86, then transitioning to the Fiat G91.

This time the name stuck longer: it took 12 years to name the Wing back to its original JaBoG43. In 1976 another flying unit set up at the airbase. The Police Helicopter Squadron Oldenburg set up with an Aerospatiale Gazelle (c/s Phoenix 91) and an Alouette III (Phoenix 92). In 1981, the Oldenburg Wing received its fist AlphaJets.The Wings' second squadron (german: 2. Staffel) deployed to Turkey during the 1991 Gulf War. The air base was also home to maintenance units: Feldwerft Fiat G91 (1966-1981) and its successor Luftwaffenwerft 61 (1981-1993). All flying units disbanded in 1993, and in 1994 the airbase closed. Until 2006 however it remained home to the Air Defense Missile Group24 of the Second Air Defense Missile Wing (german: Flugabwehrraketengruppe 24 des Flugabwehrraketengeschwaders 2) who have since moved to Bad Sülze in former East-Germany.The terrain was still property of the German Federal government in September 2011.

In 2010 the conversion of the airbase began. A hangar was rebuilt for a second life as a theatre. Some barracks buildings were demolished. In 2011, the airside began to be converted into a solar power plant. As of January 2012, solar arrays cover most ot the runway and taxi tracks. A road that had been cut off by the runway in the 1950s was reopened in 2012.
In aerial photography from 2015 (Google Earth), most of the airfield still appears recognisable.
