Keesler Air Force Base — Biloxi, United States

Keesler Air Force Base sits on the Mississippi Gulf Coast at Biloxi, functioning as a U.S. Air Force installation rather than a public airport, at a low elevation of just 33 feet, and it operates one runway. The base serves as a major technical training center for the Air Force, distinct from the civilian Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport that handles the area's commercial passenger traffic. Biloxi's position directly on the Gulf of Mexico leaves Keesler exposed to the hurricane season that shapes life along this stretch of the Mississippi coast each year. Public passenger bookings aren't available here, since access stays restricted to military personnel, their families, and authorized visitors rather than the general traveling public.
