And, of course there are numerous air force bases and naval air stations, and a handful of space ports/centers.
There's also numerous Army Airfields, Marine Corps Air Stations, and Coast Guard Air Stations and even for bases that now fall under the Space Force, "Space Force Base" (such as Patrick Space Force Base near Melbourne, FL). For the US Air Force, if the base is on US territory, it's an "Air Force Base." If the base is overseas but still run by the USAF, it's an "Air Base" (e.g: Ramstein Air Base, Osan Air Base).

Others you might see used:
"Air Harbor" or "Seaplane Base" for seaplane operations
