Welcome to Columbus Air Force Base, home of Team BLAZE and the 14th Flying Training Wing!
Upon your arrival, get ready to experience southern charm and hospitality, as Columbus, Mississippi is known as “The Friendly City”. Columbus Air Force Base is located in Northeast Mississippi nearby the Tombigbee River. From the bright and sunny summers to moderate winters, everyone can enjoy a wide range of
activities year-round. This website is newly designed to help you make the most out of your time here. At the top of the page you’ll see drop down menus that can give you all of the information you may need on upcoming events, organizations, as well as the local & surrounding area.
