PAF Camp Badaber

PAF Camp Badaber, formerly known as Peshawar Air Station, is a non-flying air force base of the Pakistan Air Force and a former United States Air Force–Central Intelligence Agency[1] listening post, used by the 6937th Communications Group from July 17, 1959[2] until being evacuated on 7 January 1970,[3] when the facility was formally closed.[4] It was located in Badaber, a remote area about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of the city of Peshawar, Pakistan. However, since 2021, sixty-five U.S. Air Force personnel have been stationed at Camp Badaber.[5]
