Lechfeld Air Base (ICAO: ETSL) is a German Air Force (Luftwaffe) base located 1 km east of Lagerlechfeld in Bavaria, about 20 km south of Augsburg on the Bundestrasse 17.
It was the home of Training Division A of the School of Management Assistance, and of 32 Fighter Bomber Wing (Jagdbombergeschwader 32), part of the Luftwaffe's 1st Air Division. The two squadrons based there flew the Panavia Tornado until 2013. There was a plan to use Lechfeld as Germany's second base for the Airbus A400M Atlas transport aircraft.
