  • That's at 50th Space Wing in Schriever Air Force Base, that the whole GPS satellite Constellation is controlled. The GPS Master Clocks are found here.
  • Strangely, the Schreiver AFB is the only Air Force Base that doesn't have any runways !
  • Bolling AFB no longer has a runway...
  • Onizuka AFB (previously Sunnyvale AFB) in Sunnyvale, CA never had runways. It controlled the Air Force (and allied) satellites.
  • Nonsense. Quite few air force bases have no runways. Arnold, Goodfellow and the others listed below.
