Tábor-Všechov airfield (Czech: Letiště Tábor-Všechov, ICAO: LKTV) is an airfield 70 kilometer south of Prague.
During the Cold War it served as a wartime dispersal airfield since 1962, for which purpose it was fitted with parkings and a 2000m runway. It was intended to be used by the 9th Fighter Aviation Regiment at Bechyni airfield or by the 1st Fighter Aviation Regiment at Ceske Budejovice (Plana air base). In a Czech article it is described as being used by a MiG-21 in an emergency situation in 1972.
After the Cold War ended, the airfield was used by general aviation, but after 2010 it largely fell into disuse. Today it is used only by an aeroclub. Although it was supposedly sold in 2010, it is believed to be still owned by the armed forces of the Czech Republic, who are looking for a buyer.
