Maykhe (Russian: Майхэ), also given as Mayke, is an abandoned military air base of the Soviet Armed Forces in Primorsky Krai, Russia.[1] It is located about 20 km (12 miles) east of the town of Artyom. It was identified by U.S. CORONA satellite photography as early as 1962,[2] and in 1971 it was linked to a missile facility northeast of the airfield.[1]
The airfield fell into disuse after the Cold War, and photo galleries on Wikimapia show auto racing events on the former runway.
