Isn't the Willow Grove Naval Air Station located in Horsham, PA, not Willow Grove, PA? Your information states Willow Grove, PA. The air base seems to be located in the heart of Horsham, PA, or is there some strange ordinance I don't know about that stipulates that the property the air base sits on is owned by Willow Grove?

Please advise.

Respectfully,
