IIRC it hasn’t been too many years ago it was McCoy AFB.
Civilian planes used part of the field.

So the Air Force moved out?

Depends on your definition of "not too long ago". McCoy was closed in 1974, part of the post Vietnam draw down.

Part of the base was transferred to the Navy and became part of Naval Training Center Orlando, but that part was returned to the city in '99 when NTCO closed.

I remember the draw down, I was part of it. In 1974, I was on active duty with the USAF, but at Tinker. That was a whole lifetime ago. My older daughter, who just had her 2nd and 3rd babies (identical twins) was born in 1974. In fact I'm at her house doing "Grandpa's Baby Duty" as I post... and I think I hear one of the babies going off now.... gotta run.
