I don't know for sure any more, but I had an old timer tell me once that
Master Jet Base meant that the field was open (not necessarily controlled in
the tower) 24/7.

The term may not be applicable any more.

Does anyone know what the criteria are for designating a NAS as a master
jet base? For example NAS Oceana is a master jet base but NAS Whidbey
Island is a premier jet base. Any leads would be great. Google wasn't
very helpful.


I've never heard of those terms. Where did you encounter them?

They are predominately on the websites and entry signs at the bases.
