Mirosławiec AFB has been a Polish military airport since 1945. Since 1952, the 53rd Fighter-Attack Aviation Regiment has been stationed with Il-10 aircraft, and since 1960 with MiG-15 (Lim-2). Later, the unit changed its name to the 8th "Brandenburg" Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment and received MiG-17 aircraft (Lim-5, Lim-6). In the late 1980s, the regiment was re-equipped with Su-22 aircraft. Since 2000, the unit was called the 8th Tactical Aviation Squadron and took part in many exercises with NATO units. 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.
