General
Guaratinguetá is a lively city and home of the technical school of the FAB. The airport houses the active aircraft of the unit but there is also a large military complex. We suspect some instructional airframes should be there as well because the airfield itself only houses a handful.
Layout
The ramps are in the south west corner. The main ramp is lined by hangars with the active aircraft. Just north of the tower is an open shed, visible from outside, with some instructional airframes.
Getting There
The airfield is to the north of the city and it is difficult to explain how to get there. Take the western most bridge over the Paraiba river and head north. The airfield should be on your right hand side now.
