RAF Mildenhall — Bury Saint Edmunds, Suffolk, United Kingdom

RAF Mildenhall (MHZ) is a Royal Air Force station located near Bury Saint Edmunds in Suffolk, England, that has for decades hosted United States Air Force units under a longstanding basing agreement, most notably air refueling and special operations forces. The base is a key node in transatlantic military logistics, supporting tanker aircraft that refuel other U.S. and NATO aircraft operating across Europe and beyond. MHZ is not accessible to civilian air traffic and functions purely as defense infrastructure integral to the UK-U.S. defense relationship. Its long history dating back to the 1930s and continued active use underscore its ongoing strategic importance within Britain's East Anglian cluster of military airfields.
