Airbase
For the Swedish musician who is known as "Airbase," see Jezper Söderlund. An airbase, sometimes referred to as a military airport or airfield, provides basing and support of military aircraft. The United States Air Force and its components (Air Force Reserve & Air National Guard) calls their bases Air Force Bases, Air Reserve Bases, or Air National Guard Bases; most of them are named after a person of military or governmental significance (Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan; Edwards Air Force Base, California; General Mitchell Air Reserve Base, Wisconson). Those with very little or no flying activity are called Air Force Stations (e.g. Jackson Barracks Air Guard Station, Louisiana; Onizuka Air Force Station, California). Air Force Bases located in other countries are called Air Base, and are usually names after the city or region where they're located (e.g. Spandalhem Air Base, Germany). The U.S. Army calles their air bases Army Airfields, and like the Air Force, name most of them after a military figure (Polk Army Airfield, Louisiana; Biggs Army Airfield, TX). The U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard calles their air bases Air Stations and generally name them after the area where they're located (Pensacola Naval Air Station, Florida; Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station, North Carolina; Kodiak Coast Guard Air Station, Alaska).
