McCoy Air Force Base is a former United States Air Force base near Orlando, Florida. It was a training base during World War II, then after the war it became a Front-Line Strategic Air Command base during the Cold War.
A major portion of the former McCoy AFB is currently owned by the city of Orlando and used for the Orlando International Airport. Most of the former air field is now the Orlando International Airport. All Tickets and Baggage tags read "MCO" which stands for McCoy.
