Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base, commonly known as La Carlota, is a military airfield located within the urban area of Caracas, Venezuela. It serves both Venezuelan Air Force operations and limited civil aviation activities, including executive and general aviation flights. The base is situated in the eastern part of Caracas, making it notably close to the city center compared to Simón Bolívar International Airport, which handles the bulk of commercial traffic for the capital. Its urban location has long sparked debate about its potential redevelopment or conversion to civilian use. The airfield has historical and political significance in Venezuela, having been the site of several notable events in the country's modern history, including military actions during periods of political unrest.
