Which Aerodrome?
Correct - Sheppard AFB, home of, the then relatively new, Euro Nato Flying Training school. The whole of flying training, all on one base, on one of 6 training bases, each turning out way more pilots than we did in total. 5 swimming pools and a base hospital - it all seemed pretty huge at the time. Dallas (JR Ewing Dallas) was still in its heyday and it was all a bit of a culture shock. Over to you, Evansb. Did you know it all the time?
PS to say it still looks chuffing big. That new runway must be 15,000 ft and there are a good selection of aircraft types parked around the place.

No 2 is a bit `slack`!
Possibly Burtonwood ?

Also know as "The Rock". PaperTiger is correct.
Shemya airfield is located at the far western (it is so far west, it is east) end of the Aleutian chain. The base was home to a variety of Cold War missions.
You have control.
