Question: What North Carolina military base has a runway big enough for a space shuttle to land on?

Answer: Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point near Havelock, North Carolina, sits on 29,000 acres and supports a runway big enough to serve as an alternative landing point for any of the space shuttles out of Cape Canaveral, when they were in service. It also boasts some of the best weather in the country for a jet field.
