Morón Air Base KC-10 & KC-135

Morón Air Base KC-10 & KC-135 poster art

Morón Air Base is located in southern Spain, approximately 35 miles (56 km) S/E of the city of Sevilla and 75 miles (121 km) N/E of Naval Station Rota. The base gets its name from the nearby town of Morón de la Frontera. Morón’s massive flight line, in-ground aircraft refueling system, long runway and prime location on the Iberian peninsula, close to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, means the base is a vital link in any operation moving east from the United States.

The 496th Air Base Squadron (496 ABS) is responsible for all U.S. reception and power projection operations (with direct authorization & coordination from SpAF Base leadership).  The 496 ABS is continually postured to receive forces in support of UN, NATO, and US contingency and exercise operations.
