England Air Force Base was closed in 1992. Since then the base has been turned into an Airpark with various businesses occupying the vacated buildings. The golf course has undergone a major overhaul, changing it from a nine hole course to eighteen. Part of the base housing was turned into a very nice community for senior living. The local airport was changed from the old Esler Field in Pineville to the Airpark and renamed Alexandria International Airport.
Update (24 December 2007): Two new fire stations have been constructed. A multi million dollar air terminal and new control tower are now in use. A new hotel has been opened, along with other new constructions, and modifications to the existing buildings. A number of the old buildings have either been replaced or just torn down which better beautifies the grounds.
The golf course has been renovated and is now a new 18 hole facility with a new clubhouse.
We are still looking for photos and other mementos from the past. If you have such and would like to have them posted here please send them to the Webmaster.

Hello,
I was stationed as a nurse at EAFB 23rd TAC in the hospital and the ATH. I wonder how one could obtain photos that were taken by the base newspaper from 1977-1979? There were a few of me that were taken during that time for the base newspaper. All my pictures were lost in a house fire.
Thank you.
