Road Trip: Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida

Tyndall Air Force Base is a United States Air Force Base located 12 miles east of Panama City, Florida. The base was named in honor of World War I pilot 1st Lt Frank Benjamin Tyndall. The base operating unit and host wing is the 325th Fighter Wing (325 FW) of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC).

The 325th Fighter Wing’s primary mission is to provide air dominance training for F-22A Raptor pilots and maintenance personnel and air battle managers to support the combat Air Force. Training for F-22 pilots is performed in the 43rd Fighter Squadron. The 325th Air Control Squadron trains air battle managers for assignment to combat Air Force units.

Additionally, wing personnel manage the southeastern air combat maneuvering instrumentation range and provide mission-ready F-15, F-16 and F-22 air dominance forces in support of the Commander, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)/First Air Force contingency plans.

Other specialties trained under the 325th Fighter Wing include F-22 intelligence officer training, F-22 crew chief training and officer and enlisted air traffic controller training.

The primary mission of the 325th Mission Support Group is to provide dominant mission support and combat-ready Airmen to Team Tyndall and worldwide expeditionary forces.

Great thread, Ms. Lauren!

My nephew is an F-16 crew chief...that photo in the center reminds me of him; a lot.

I just found out he was nearly run over by one of his birds last weekend - one of these days, when it’s not so late, I’ll tell the story.

I just heard that beer is finally cheaper than gasoline...Drink, Don’t Drive!!!

I was just a kid when they had nickel beer. By the time I could go in, it was in Germany and they had nickel slot machines!
