The base has a large visitor lodging facility known as the MacDill Inn, a DECA commissary, an AAFES base exchange, and numerous Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) activities such as the Surf's Edge all ranks club, a base swimming pool, movie theater, marina, the Raccoon Creek Family Camp for recreational vehicles, the SeaScapes Beach House and the Bay Palms Golf Course. In addition, the wing converted from the F-4E to F-4D between October 1977 and September 1978. You likely wonder why so many service members prefer seeking accommodations off-base, and we will address your concerns in a little while. In 1962, MacDill AFB was transferred from SAC to TAC.
