Just the Press getting things wrong.

Only NFO (and now WSO) Wings at NAS Pensacola since VT4 stopped winging
E2/C2 Aviators in 1996? (Don't recall exact year)

Pensacola, Fla., suffered hundreds of millions of dollars in damage

Naval Air Station Pensacola is where every Naval aviator
gets his or her wings. BRBR

Is this true? I got my wings in Beeville..I don't think NavAir has changed
that
much.

Just talked to a long time family friend who is a docent at the NAM, he did a
lot of the flight line tours. While he lives in Cantonment and hasn't been back
to the museum since Ivan he mentioned that he understood all the NAM facilities
are in good shape. The Buffalo "should" be Ok but mentioned the flight line was
torn up pretty good. Ironic that he served as the CO of the Hurrican hunters
and was responsible for the NAM Connie being painted in a Hurricane Hunter
scheme and now to get wiped out by a Hurricane
He mentioned that the Captains row of Quarters that overlook the parade ground
had water up to the main floor. The new enlisted barracks on chavalie field had
waves comming in the second floor windows. That's a lot of water!!!
The rest of the base got it much worse, there is even rumor that it may be
cheaper to move the TRACOM than rebuild.
