Hmmmm...I thought that Saufley had been "Civilianized" for
non-aviation activities. Have you seen a Google Earth image
of Saufley as it looks now? Disgraceful.

I didn't think there was enough runway there.

My first Navy flight was from NAS Saufley, July 21, 1958,
T-34 number 1400726.

Mine was 15 April 1958. What preflight class were you in? I was a
Cadet in 48-57.

Of course, Mainside doesn't look much like it did back in
1958 when I spent 16 weeks there in PreFlight.
