Velyka Krucha was an air base near Chernihiv, Ukraine located in Velyka Krucha village, 10 km south of Pyriatyn. It was a training base, and has been largely abandoned.

Units stationed at Velikaya Krucha include the 443rd Aviation Training Regiment (443 UAP) flying 101 L-39 jet trainers during the early 1990s.[1] Through the late 1980s and 1990s the 443rd Regiment was part of the Kharkhov Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots, in turn itself part of the 17th Air Army.
