The Navy flew from Coco Solo, on the Atlantic side. A google search revealed an anecdote by a former AF jet mechanic that AF P-80s at France Field would use Coco Solo's runway because it was longer, although it was a long taxi. Must've been relatively close to each other.
Coco Solo had VPs (PBY only?) during WWII. Closed (as NAS) 1950. Quote:
