Road Trip: NAS Pensacola, Florida

Naval Air Station Pensacola or NAS Pensacola, "The Cradle of Naval Aviation", is a United States Navy base located next to Warrington, Florida, a community southwest of the Pensacola city limits.

It is best known as the initial primary training base for all Navy, Marine and Coast Guard aviators and Naval Flight Officers, the advanced training base for most Naval Flight Officers, and as the home base for the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the precision-flying team known as the Blue Angels.

The air station also hosts the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) and the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI), which provides training for all naval flight surgeons, aviation physiologists, and aviation experimental psychologists.

With the closure of Naval Air Station Memphis in Millington, Tennessee and the transition of that facility to Naval Support Activity Mid-South, NAS Pensacola also became home to the Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC), providing technical training schools for nearly all enlisted aircraft maintenance and enlisted aircrew specialties in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard.

NAS Pensacola contains Forrest Sherman Field, home of Training Air Wing SIX, providing undergraduate flight training for all prospective Naval Flight Officers for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps, and flight officers/navigators for other NATO/Allied/Coalition partners. TRAWING SIX consists of the Training Squadron 4 (VT-4) Warbucks, Training Squadron 10 (VT-10) Wildcats and Training Squadron 86 (VT-86) Sabrehawks, flying the T-45C Goshawk, and T-6A Texan II.

A select number of prospective U.S. Air Force Navigator/Combat Systems Officers, destined for certain fighter and bomber aircraft, were previously trained via TRAWING SIX, with command of VT-10 rotating periodically to a USAF officer.

Today, all USAF Undergraduate CSO Training (UCSOT) for all USAF aircraft is consolidated at NAS Pensacola as a strictly USAF organization and operation under the 479th Flying Training Group (479 FTG), an Air Education and Training Command (AETC) unit.

The 479 FTG is a tenant activity at NAS Pensacola and a geographically separated unit (GSU) of the 12th Flying Training Wing (12 FTW) at Randolph AFB, Texas. The 479 FTG operates USAF T-6A Texan II and T-1A Jayhawk aircraft.

Eggs-zactly. Always has been the goal.

[radu]

Good night and sleep well, JJ.
Great to see you though brief, it was.

[eyedigress]

Hey Kathy! Home this evening. have Walmart distribution in the AM. Headed to the Mountains on Wednesday.

Watching Trump fire up Clark County.

[luvie]

We have thunderstorms here now. Have one kitty back in and listening for the other one to want in.They like to be out at night when it’s nice. And I like it because I can actually sleep. LOL!

[radu]

Lucky you! I hope you get some decent rainfall from them. You need it.

We don’t need any more rain. There was standing water from last week’s rain before today’s rain moved in. The ground’s saturated. At least we don’t have to worry about our well running dry any time soon.

We’ve stopped leaving our outside kitties out at night. We’ve lost a few to coyotes and just don’t want to lose any more to the vile creatures. Too many of them around here nowadays.

[luvie]

I think it’s time for coyote bounties again. There are way too many of them roaming...even within city limits! We don’t have that problem near our house, and they stick pretty close to home...as far as I KNOW!

But......they are kittehs. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Idaho...3 days without power?

Wood stove? Generator?

Laughing about the light thing...been there, done that.

[radu]

The farmers in this area eradicated coyotes several years ago. They were tired of losing livestock to them. But more were brought back by the wildlife people and hunting them was verboten.
Not now. There aren’t bounties on them but people are allowed to kill them again to keep the numbers down. WAY too many of them.
And some of the females mate with domestic dogs and the offspring - we call them coye-dogs - are more dangerous because they aren’t timid. They’ll come right up to a house.

Several people around here have lost cats or small dogs to coyotes that got into fenced-in yards to snag them. grrrrrrr!!

[radu]

Just realized it’s stopped raining. Heading to Wally World to get some groceries so I don’t have to do it in the rain tomorrow.
Be back shortly.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

We are doing well. I am usually around but only lurking. In other words, I’M WATCHING YOU! LOL

How are you and yours? ;-)

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

“We don’t have Whataburgers around here. Don’t tell us how awesome their malts are or I’m liable to get more gray hairs in frustration. LOL”

OK, if you insist. I shall not tell you how wonderful, chocolaty, cold and malty they are! ;-)

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

“coye-dogs”

“Dogyote” rolls off of the tongue better. ;-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Mayor...thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you are coughing less and feeling better.

[luvie]

Yuk! There is no way I’d venture to Wallyworld at this time of the night! Much more weirdos at night. LOL!

[luvie]

I wondered why I felt that there were eyes.....

We're all good. Getting a bit of rain which is nice!

[Kathy in Alaska]

of course...I haven’t seen that many in the yard for a long time. They must have invited all their friends.

A creek runs thru the back yard and doesn’t freeze. When it is REALLY cold, the creek is warmer than land.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

It rained here a bit this morning but not nearly enough.

[radu]

OUCH! Ya really know how to make it hurt, don’cha? LOL

Tomorrow isn’t going to get here soon enough so I can get a chok-lit shake somewhere, ANYWHERE. aaauuuuuggghhh!

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

“OUCH! Ya really know how to make it hurt, don’cha? LOL”

What? You asked me not to tell you so that I didn’t tell you!

**snicker**

[radu]

“Vile” is even easier - - one syllable. :-)
And when the letters are rearranged, you get “evil”, and that’s what they are.
