The first training school of the Romanian military aviation was established in 1912 in Cotroceni, under the command of Major Ion Macri.

[1][2] The same year, a second school which allowed military pilots to be trained was established by Prince George Valentin Bibescu in Băneasa.

[1] Due to the need of training aircraft at the School from Tecuci, a number of 120 Hansa-Brandenburg C.I were built at the Aeronautical Arsenal between 1922 and 1923.

The same year, construction on the Ziliștea-Boboc airdrome began, where the future aviation school was to be located.

[1] During World War II, the airfield was used by the Royal Romanian Air Force to launch bombing raids into Bessarabia.

[7][8] After the war, the schools were disbanded, but from 1948 the military aviation education began to be reorganized in Sibiu, Mediaș, and Tecuci.

[1] In 2010, with the 100th anniversary of Aurel Vlaicu's flight, the base was decorated with the Order of Aeronautical Virtue Officer Class.
