A non-profit corporation dedicated to preserving the history of Borinquen Field / Ramey AFB
1939 - 1973

This organization is formed to include those who have served and are serving, both men & women, at the former Ramey AFB, Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. This also includes relatives and friends of former base personnel as well as civilians who are interested in preserving the rich history of this beautiful and important air base.

Built, starting in September, 1939 by the Army Corps of Engineers, it was then known as Borinquen Army Air Field, until September 18, 1948, when it was renamed Ramey Air Force Base. This was in honor of Brigadier General Howard K. Ramey (1896-1943), who was killed in the South Pacific on a reconnaissance mission during World War II.

Today it is a civilian facility known as Rafael Hernandcz Airport, and is also home base to the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as the U. S. Customs & Immigration Service.
