Moffett Federal Airfield — Mountain View, United States

NUQ is Moffett Federal Airfield, located in Mountain View, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Originally a naval air station, Moffett is famous for its massive Hangar One, built in the 1930s to house airships, and remains a landmark visible across the South Bay. The field is now managed jointly by NASA's Ames Research Center and, more recently, by Google-affiliated entities that lease portions of the facility for aviation research and corporate aircraft operations. NUQ has no scheduled commercial passenger service; it supports NASA research flights, government aircraft, and private corporate jets. The base's history spans military airship operations, Cold War-era research, and its current role blending federal research with private aerospace innovation in the tech industry's backyard.
