In 2000, the 7.PLBR was disbanded and the 7th and 6th Tactical Aviation Squadrons (6.ELT and 7.ELT) with Su-22s were formed in its place. The last Su-22s leave Powidz in 2008, and soon the unit changes into a transport base (33.BLTr) and receives C-130E, C-130H Hercules and M-28 Bryza aircraft. It is also the main base of US troops in Poland. Near the airport there is DOL Września (highway strip). One of the largest and most frequently used facilities of this type in Poland.

Dear Ugra-Media... In the small piece of Poland added to the map, we have the Szczecin-Goleniów airport, which according to its name is near Szczecin. In Szczecin there is also the Szczecin-Dąbie airport, which you did not add... Szczecin-Dąbie Airport (EPSD) is a small grass airport, where the Szczecin Aeroclub is located. The airport was built in the 1920s by the Germans. After 1945, the Polish Air Force was stationed at the airport with An-2, Po-2 and Yak-11 aircraft. Behind the airport is Lake Dąbie, from which An-2M from the Reconnaissance Aviation Squadron took off. Since around 1980, the airport has been home to the Aeroclub and Polish police helicopters are stationed there.

Świdwin AFB - Polish Air Force airport since 1953. In 1951, the 40th Fighter Aviation Regiment (40.PLM) was established at the airport in Kraków with Yak-23 and Yak-11 aircraft. Since 1953, the regiment has been stationed at the airport in Świdwin, where after two years it receives its first MiG-15 and Lim-2 aircraft. In 1964, pilots begin training on MiG-21s, which join the regiment a year later. Pilots from Świdwin become some of the best MiG-21 pilots in Poland and perform masterful take-offs and landings at DOL Kliniska. MiG-21s flew in Świdwin until 1971, when they were replaced by MiG-17s, Lim-5s and Lim-6s, and the unit changes its name to the 40th Fighter-Assault Aviation Regiment (40.PLMSz). The alternate airport for Świdwin was the Płoty-Makowice AFB airport, or Czaplinek-Broczyno AFB, 35 km away. In 1985, the regiment was re-equipped with new Su-22 Fitter aircraft and changed its name to the 40th Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment (40.PLMB). After receiving the new aircraft, the unit established close relations with the German regiment from Laage, which also operated the Su-22. In later years, the regiment took part in the "Orli Szpon'97" exercises and after Poland joined NATO in 1999, the 40th PLMB was disbanded. The regiment was replaced by the 39th and 40th Tactical Aviation Squadrons (39.ELT and 40.ELT). The emblem of the 39.ELT is a panther, and the 40.ELT is a horse, which is the emblem of the 1st Squadron of the 40th Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment. After less than 3 years, the 39th Squadron was disbanded, and its Su-22 aircraft were transferred to the 40th Squadron and units from Powidz and Mirosławiec. In 2008, the aircraft were transferred to Świdwin 7th Tactical Aviation Squadron from Powidz, which also used Su-22 aircraft. In 2010, as a result of the merger of the 7th and 40th Squadrons with the 8th Squadron from Mirosławiec, the 21st Tactical Aviation Base (21.BLT) in Świdwin was established. In 2015, the unit sent its last 18 Su-22s for renovation to WZL.2 in Bydgoszcz, where the planes received gray camouflage. Since 2023, renovation has been underway at the airport in Świdwin, for new F-35a and FA-50PL aircraft, as a result of which the Su-22 aircraft were relocated to the nearby airport in Mirosławiec, where the 21.BLT still maintains these aircraft...

The 8th ELT was disbanded in 2010, and the Su-22 aircraft were relocated to the nearby airport in Świdwin. In 2015, the 12th Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Base was established, which operated Orbiter unmanned aircraft, and currently the Bayraktar TB2 and soon also the MQ-9 Reaper... Near the airport there is also DOL Mirosławiec (Mirosławiec Highway Strip), which is connected to the airport by a wide road. Currently, nothing can land on DOL Mirosławiec because of the high electric poles standing by the road.
