Naval Air Station Lemoore, also known as Reeves Field, is a major United States Navy installation located in the San Joaquin Valley of central California, near the city of Lemoore in Kings County. It serves as the Navy's largest Master Jet Base on the West Coast and is home to numerous strike fighter squadrons.
The airfield is primarily a military installation supporting F/A-18 Hornet and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet operations, as well as carrier air wing training and readiness activities. The IATA code NLC reflects its limited designation for occasional civilian-related logistics.
As an active military base, NLC is not open to commercial passenger traffic. Its operations are focused entirely on naval aviation training, fleet readiness, and support for carrier-based strike fighter units deploying from the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
