Tish, There is the Lajes Air force base in Terceira Island and there is the Santa Maria Island Airport that started to be the US Air base in the Azores before the british left Lajes and the US forces went to Lajes (1946). Since 1946, Santa Maria Airport is working as a "portuguese civil air base". The land is still property of the portuguese government. I don't know about the archives on the process of buying/selling this land. António
