The link shows the position of Neusiedel (the former Naujeningken) and Budwethen (now Malomoschaiskoje). Before 1976 Naujeningken/Neusiedel/Moskwino became an part of the commune administration but now the village is part of the "history". Even if you have an look on google satellit you can see the former railway station or streets.

Vielen Dank Herr Rasmussen !

That answered my question very well. Thank you, Paul and Larry for your input it was all very helpful. I have been using Wikimapia classic because it also shows a lot of the old German place names as well as the current Russian ones, and old Wiki allows me to switch between it, google and open street maps without changing web pages.

So in summary, Neusiedl is about 1.5 km to the southwest of Malomozhajskoye and the airfield was likely within a kilometer of there. A convenient location close to the train station.

Thanks again
