Normal Airbases don't show on the map. (There is an exception for tactical bases in Uboat Add on which show as a square like a naval base only with a plane on it) Since most bases are not tactical, I would think the easiest way to implement the airbase is to use the dds the same way you would the name of an island, pop it into the terrain/locationmaps folder and it will show in the list of "Map Locations" in the mission editor. Put a 'map location' with the .dds and then put a "Real" Airbase in the same spot. I haven't tried it, but it should work.
I am assuming that you just want it to show on the map, not make a 3D airbase.
