That's correct, all bases in UK with USAF tenants are still RAF. The USAF only lease them and the Station Commander is an RAF officer.
That's why it's RAF Fairford, RAF Mildenhall, RAF Lakenheath, etc

R1nger, the original post, which my reply was about, said "USAF" Brize Norton. But has since been edited.
