Brooks Air Force Base
Despite the fact that Brooks Air Force Base closed down at the beginning of the decade, the base has a very long and storied history. It was first built at the beginning of the United States’s entry into World War I in order to train pilots to bomb German trenches. It then evolved to become a fighter pilot’s school as warplane technology improved. Since the base has closed a charter school, hospital, and Texas A&M satellite campus have opened up.
