Coast Guard Air Station Biloxi Seaplane Base serves Biloxi, US.
Coast Guard Air Station Biloxi (US-4147) was commissioned on December 5, 1934, at Biloxi Municipal Airport, with its responsibilities including aerial surveillance, emergency medical evaluations, and law enforcement,. During World War II, its primary mission shifted to anti-submarine patrols and air-sea rescue operations,. The station was significantly damaged by a hurricane in 1947, and its facilities were deemed impractical for accommodating modern aircraft,.
The Air Station was reduced to a single aircraft detachment operating from Keesler Air Force Base in March 1947 and was officially decommissioned in 1966, with its assets transferred to the new Air Station-Training Center in Mobile,. The original site of the air station, including the land, hangar, and seaplane ramps, was turned over to the city of Biloxi and used by elements of the Mississippi Army National Guard for several years. The Biloxi Municipal Airport, where the air station operated, is now part of Keesler AFB.
