Norton Air Force Base, California

The 2,400-acre Norton AFB was closed by the first round of BRAC, and ceased most of its military operations by 1995. The Air Force signed over the lease on the airport to the local redevelopment organization in 1999, though much of the rest of the base remains in the Air Force's hands as this ongoing clean-up and conversion process continues. Some businesses have moved on base, including the San Bernardino International Airport, which claims roughly half of the original site. The former AFB has also served as a location for various movies, including Volcano, The Aviator, and The Fast and the Furious. As of 2014, the Norton AFB Museum is on site as well.
