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.

Say it isn't so!! ;)

[luvie]

They need to pay me a commission. LOL!

[radu]

Yeah, and it looks like you could be right!

[radu]

We didn’t know at first. She was sort of a rescue and when we finally got her medical records from her previous owner’s vet, we saw she’d been treated for it for a while. She was a little droopy when we got her and once she was on her meds again, she was fine. Been fine ever since.

[Kathy in Alaska]

So sorry, Janey...((HUGS))...it's a tough thing.

[radu]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!
You know I just HAD to “steal” that one, don’cha.

Great job!

[radu]

Ya need to tell ‘em!
Might need to split it with Kathy since she was posting the pix last night. LOL

[Robe]

I did my time in poopieville......

[PROCON]

LOL, great pic! But I don't give a Hoot!

LUV knows I'm teasing her, she and several other tough Canteen ladies greeted me and made me know my "place" when I first came to the Canteen, LOL.

It's all fun and relaxing and that's why I come here.

But I'm really wondering when DQ closes, LOL.

[luvie]

Steal away!! I made it for us to use! LOL!

[luvie]

They ususally close between 9-10 here....so looks like you have time for a quick trip!

They need to have home delivery. Or not! I’d be in SO much trouble! LOL!

[luvie]

I’m glad we didn’t run ya off! We just needed to “soften” ya up a bit. LOL!

“A bad influence?

IT ISN’T SO! ;-)

[luvie]

So sad to hear this.....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, yarddog...sounds like a fun museum.

[luvie]

Dude!

(((hugs)))

[radu]

Now were you a trouble-maker when you first started spending time here? Say it isn’t so!

It sounds to me like the Canteen is successful in its mission. Fun and relaxation for our veterans and active duty is why it’s here.

Our DQs are closed. :-( Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here right now. LOL
