HISTORY
LFBP Pau Pyrénées Airport (Aéroport Pau Pyrénées) is an airport serving Pau, France.
It is located about 10 km (6. 2 mi) northwest of Pau in the commune of Uzein, in the "département of Pyrénées-Atlantiques".
Its great and long term story begins with the roots of flight, with the Wright Brothers.
It was first flew in 1909, at the Wright Brothers flight school built in Pau due to its mild weather compared to the other candidate in Le Mans.
The same year, Louis Blériot, after crossing the English Channel on his Blériot XI monoplane, came back to Pau to open his Flight Training School.
This brought a lot of attention and the airport was soon location for new facilities which were born in the surroundings.
Finally, in 1912 even the French Army, after setting up a proper Military Flight License, decided to set up a Military Flying School right there in Pau, turning it into one of the greatest and largest Flying Schools in France.
Before World War II began, a large number of Aeronautical Companies set up base in the Adour basin, and straight after the end of the War, the industry had a boom.
Dassault opened in Anglet, Fouga and Potez in Aire-sur-l'Adour, Turbomeca in Bordes and Tanos, Messier in Arudy and Daher-Socata in Tarbes Ossun.
This brought by consequence a number of sub-contractors to move or open subsudiaries in the area, making Pau and the surroundings the glory of flight it is now.
LFBP Pau Pyrenees now hosts in the southern part at the Heli Base the 5e régiment d'hélicoptères de combat (5th Combat Helicopter Regiment) and the 4e Régiment d'Hélicoptères des Forces Spéciales (4th Special Forces Helicopter Regiment), making it critical and one of the most important Military Facilities in France.
