Thanks for the information. Google Maps still shows this as "Punta de Maisi" airport. Is there an official source where we can confirm the other name?

While this former airfield is in Cuba, it's part of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station, which is under U.S. control.

Comment by @david on Leeward Point Field, Cuba:

Although this base is located in Cuba, it's under American control due to a long-term lease signed -- its the U.S.'s oldest overseas base, and the only one in a hostile country. It has received a lot of news coverage recently because of its use as a prison camp during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
