RAAF Base Richmond — Richmond, Australia

RAAF Base Richmond, identified by the code XRH, is a Royal Australian Air Force installation located in New South Wales, west of Sydney. Unlike commercial airports, Richmond functions strictly as military infrastructure, historically supporting transport squadrons, training operations, and logistics for the Australian Defence Force. The base has played a role in numerous humanitarian airlift missions and domestic disaster relief efforts over the decades. Its runways accommodate large military transport aircraft, and the surrounding area includes support facilities, hangars, and administrative buildings tied to defense operations. Richmond is not open to civilian passenger traffic, and public access is restricted. Its designation as XRH reflects its inclusion in aviation databases despite its exclusively military purpose within the broader Sydney basin airspace.
