The base is named after the Rajah Buayan, a historical figure from Mindanao. Visitors can watch C-130 transport planes, attack helicopters, and other military aircraft from outside the fence. The surrounding area has a relaxed, provincial feel, making it a unique spot for plane spotting away from commercial airports.
