Kleine Brogel, Belgium

Kleine Brogel Air Base (ICAO: EBBL) is a military airfield located in the municipality of Peer, in the Limburg province of northeastern Belgium. It serves as the primary operational base for the Belgian Air Component's fighter aircraft and is home to the 2nd Tactical Wing. The base is best known for hosting Belgian F-16 Fighting Falcons and is widely reported to be one of several NATO bases in Europe where B61 nuclear gravity bombs are stored as part of NATO's nuclear sharing arrangement, though Belgian and NATO officials have neither confirmed nor denied this officially. Kleine Brogel is a restricted military installation with no commercial passenger operations. It occasionally opens to the public during air shows, which have historically attracted large crowds and international military aircraft participants.
