Khasab - an Omani Military base on a peninsular overlooking the busy and highly important Strait of Hormuz.
Normally only helicopters would be permanently located at Khasab - mainly used to ferry equipment and personnel to manned sites on islands and in the mountains.
However, in times of potential conflict, squadrons of fighter aircraft would be deployed there.
Operation Bolthole is practiced and exercised regularly in case of runway maintenance or possible airfield attack.
All airworthy aircraft are deployed to a remote site to operate from there. All necessary assets need to be transported by road or air to the Bolthole site.
