Naval Air Station

A Naval Air Station (NAS) is a facility operated by the navy that supports military aircraft operations. These stations provide the necessary infrastructure for training, maintenance, and deployment of naval aviation, including fighter jets, helicopters, and support planes. They often feature runways, hangars, and support buildings, and they serve as bases for pilots and crew. NASs play a crucial role in national defense, facilitating missions such as surveillance, transport, and combat readiness. Additionally, they may work closely with local communities and other military branches for various operations and training exercises.
