This used to be Willow Grove Naval Air Station—Navy and USMC active and reserve squadrons were based here when they weren’t aboard carriers. It’s been closed for years now, pretty much at the same time the Philadelphia Navy Yards shut down. After the Navy moved out, the PA Air National Guard moved in. Then it was closed for good when when the ANG Squadron here was re-based to Fort Dix, NJ.

It's a mostly shuttered military airport. I believe the army national guard still operates on one small portion though. I can't believe the 1 star reviews... One complaint is that there's no commissary or navy credit union, sure, the Navy isn't there anymore, why would they still be open? Another calls it an aircraft junkyard... That's not a junkyard, it's an aircraft museum! I'd hate to hear what they would say about both National Air & Space museums in DC and VA!

I could be wrong but I believe this used to be an Naval Air Station where the aircraft from Carriers would fly to when a carrier came into port. It has been a long time since an active duty carrier docked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. But it is now an Air National Guard base with a few other detachments in house. There is still activity. There is also a small museum. The old Warminster base was fully BRAC'ed but a few left over facilities are still there, although none there are owned by the military anymore. It is fully private or owned by the local or state government.
