The Air Force Base is an unlockable Landmark Reward Building for SimCity 4 Rush Hour/Deluxe, released as the Plugin Pack 007 Free Downloadable Content, also known as the Transportation Pack.
It provides no services aside from a cap increase and access to the Military Base U-Drive-It vehicles without the overwhelmingly negative effects of the Military Base.
Due to the noise generated by the base, it lowers the Mayor Rating of all residents in a 440 tile radius, radiates a 90 point Park effect penalty over a 36 tile radius, but provides a 20 point Landmark effect over a 9 tile radius due to Air Shows.
It also significantly bolsters the local Manufacturing Industry, providing a 100,000 I-M Cap increase, more than any other building.

Unique Features
The Air Force base is the only known building which can grow on the unimplemented Airport zone without modification, which it is a Stage 3 building for.
Trivia
This building was instrumental in mapping out SimCity 4's DAT file format and the DBPF file format as a whole, with the plugin pack it came in being the first DBPF file decoded by the community and its building exemplar the first decoded.
There is evidence that this file contains some late implementations of content originally intended to be included in Rush Hour but cut before release. The Air Force Base is the most obvious example since it was made into a useable state, however there are trace files of other unfinished U-Drive-It vehicles like a Paddle Steamer.
