The Knjaz Danilo Airbase (Template:Langx) is a Montenegrin Air Force base, located in Golubovci, Montenegro. Airbase and adjacent Podgorica Airport share a common runway and various support facilities. It is named after Knjaz Danilo, a prominent 19th century ruler of Montenegro.
During the Yugoslav era, it was the home to the 172nd Aviation Brigade of Yugoslav Air Force and its main flying training base for primary and basic pilot training.

In an emergency, jets stored in the shelter could scramble using the wider, northern section of the taxiway.

Airbase facilities were a frequent target of NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. G-4 Super Galeb aircraft used by Leteće zvezde aerobatic team were destroyed on the airbase premises during the strikes.[1]
