This navaid is located outside the United States, on an island. 

It’s close to an air base that has been used by the U.S. military for many years.

The navaid and the air base are both named after the nearby town.

Its identifier is not the same as the airport, which has commercial airline service, and is also a popular fuel stop.

Speaking of fuel, there’s a famous incident that occurred here with an Airbus that wasn’t planning to stop here…

There is a TACAN station on the field, oddly it is not co-located with the VOR.
