Rumbula is an air base in Latvia located 11 km southeast of Riga. The airfield may have had military use in the 1950s and 1960s. However now, Google Earth high-resolution images indicate that it is primarily the biggest auto market in Latvia, and only about five small general aviation planes are based here.
