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.

It’s been a very mild winter so far in this area. They had some snow further north.
The First signs of Spring are in the trees.
The EU referendum is all over the news at the moment. It appears as though most of the population wants out of the EU. The BS and spin from the politicians now begins.
Will have to see what the noises are emanating from Yorkshire, that is always a good guide as to which way the country will vote.

Tuesday morning coffee bump.

Had a very good day yesterday. Bo uncovered TWO gophers out at the lake.

Today, not so nice. Rain and temps in the 40's. We'll see how it goes today.

I have such a terrible cold, I might have to pass on pub night tonight.

Maybe it will clear up as the day progresses, as I truly enjoy singing out.

It’s been actually quite nice the last couple of days...February Thaw.

Kathy......

you missed the most important reason for visiting NAS Pensacola. That reason is the National Museum of Naval Aviation. That museum is in my view the best aviation museum any where. Be sure to eat at the coffee shop that is an authentic recreation of the O Club at NAS Cubi Point. When the base at Cubi Point was closed they moved all the stuff in the O club to the museum.
