Comment: The first two references give good detailed information about Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City but don't seem to offer anything about the base independent of the air station. Reference 6 is to a Wikipedia article, which is not allowed under WP:CIRCULAR. The remainder of the references are to US military webpages. These can be reliable sources but are not independent so cannot count as evidence of the base's notability in terms of deciding whether it should have its own article.

In 1978 the Aviation Technical Training Center was commissioned to consolidate and oversee all aviation enlisted personnel training nationwide. [4]
