![]() 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) Jake "Pechs1" wrote in message ... news clip- The U.S. Navy air base in Pensacola, Fla., suffered hundreds of millions of dollars in damage BRBR 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. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer |

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. Sparky |
