Wing Headquarters/Base Exchange Area

 

A new South Entrance to Pease bypassing the Panaway Manor housing area has opened fairly recently. This entry road runs from near the former wing headquarters to a point just east of the approach lights for runway 34 and connects with Route 33, formerly Route 101. This is usually the fastest way in for those arriving from the south or west.



The former Wing Headquarters (Bldg. 90) is now home to the Pease Development Authority.



Across the street to the immediate west of building 90, in what used to be the woods, is this new business.




Across the intersection northwest of Building 90 is another new business on what was the remains of the runway from the former Portsmouth Airport which predated Pease.




To the north of Building 90 is the former Education Center in the midst of a construction effort as seen in July 1999.




The same area a year later. The former Education Center has been demolished and a new office building erected in it's place. Another office building of the approximate same size and appearance is under construction to the north of this one.



The former FB-111 Simulator Building is in use by a graphic arts business.


The Base Exchange and Commissary were taken over by the State Department and have become the US Consular Center - Portsmouth.

The former BX is now the National Passport Center. Most US passports are made in this facility. A few million each year!
 

The former Commissary is now the National Visa Center. Following processing by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, all immigrant visas for admission to the United States are processed here and are then forwarded to the appropriate overseas consulate for visa issue.
