History[edit]
As the Club Penguin Island Airport received a large influx in cargo and passenger traffic, regular military exercises were usually canceled, due to air traffic congestion. In 2007, the United States Antarctic Air Force found a small atoll, off the coast of the King George Islands and Club Penguin Island, and increased the island's size to 25 sq. kilometers. The cost for the construction of only the island reached 700 million coins, on a loan from the USA Government and a 200 million pebble loan from Sancho Monte Captio. The Air Force Base was finally completed in 2011, and became the base for 23 cargo aircraft, 21 jet fighters, 22 helicopters and 8 bomber aircraft. The Air Force base has a population of 2,000 military personnel, 100 of them being permanent residents. The airbase is widely known, and is protected by 5 Anti-Aircraft Deletion Turret.
