The Romanian Air Force 95th Air Base "Captain Alexandru Șerbănescu" (Romanian: Baza 95 Aeriană "Căpitan Aviator Alexandru Șerbănescu") is an air force base adjacent to George Enescu International Airport, Romania, south of Bacău, Bacău County.

The current base was organized on 25 August 1995, having as its purpose the support of the 95th Fighter Group training. From 1 May 2001 until 1 July 2004, during the military reorganization process, the Supersonic Jet Training Center operated in the Bacău air base, preserving the tradition of training the young pilots according to the MIG-21 LanceR program. Since 1 July 2004, the 95th Air Base has undergone a thorough reorganization.

The base is currently the home of the 951st Advanced Air Training Squadron, operating the IAR 99 Șoim, and of the 952nd Helicopter Squadron, operating IAR 330L and IAR 330 SOCAT.[1]
