McCoy Air Force Base

McCoy Air Force Base, located near Orlando, Florida, was a military aviation facility primarily used during the Cold War era. It served as a strategic air command base for the United States Air Force, hosting reconnaissance, bomber, and transport aircraft. The base provided training, logistical support, and stored nuclear weapons during its operational years. After its closure in 1975, the site transitioned to civilian use and is now part of Orlando International Airport's development, with some areas repurposed for commercial and industrial activities.
