History
Le Luc airport was built prior to World War II and was seized by Allied Forces during Operation Dragoon, the Invasion of Southern France in August 1944. After minimal repairs by the United States Army Air Forces Twelfth Air Force XII Engineer Command, it was turned over for operations use by XII Fighter Command on 22 August. It was not given an Advanced Landing Ground designation. Known units assigned to the airfield were:
- 27th Fighter Group, August 1944, A-36 Apache
- 324th Fighter Group, 25 August-2 September 1944, P-47 Thunderbolt
With the combat units moving quickly up into Eastern France, the airport was returned to French civil control on 13 September.[2]

The airport resides at an elevation of 265 feet (81 m) above mean sea level. It has two paved runways: 13/31 measures 1,399 by 30 metres (4,590 ft × 98 ft) and 09/27 is 800 by 30 metres (2,625 ft × 98 ft).[1]
