AAFES operated an "Albrook Mall" in various buildings that was one of the primary shopping areas available to US troops stationed there (not just Air Force). The base saw action during the 1989 United States Invasion Of Panama , including an extended Firefight at its front gate. After the base was turned over to the Republic of Panama in October 1997, it was converted to a civilian airport (effectively replacing the old Paitilla Airport ). A number of shops and markets operate out of some of the old buildings and hangars, and most of the officers quarters are now private homes. |
