Vietnam War
The air base was built in 1968 and was used as a forward staging bases with MiGs temporarily deployed from other VPAF bases.
On the morning of 13 April 1972 the airfield was attacked by B-52s, destroying one MiG-17 and cratering the runway. The base was attacked again by US Navy A-6s in May 1972. On 15 June U.S. fighter-bombers again attacked the base cratering the runway. The base was attacked again on 18 June with further damage to the runway.[8] The base was attacked again on 11 and 12 November 1972 with six craters reported in the runway.
Current use
The base is home to the VPAF 923rd Fighter-bomber Squadron operating the Sukhoi Su-30MKK.
The government of Vietnam implemented an upgrading project to add more civil facilities in order to turn the airport into a mixed civilian/military airport in early 2013. It is planned to become a relief airport for Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport.
