• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I live about three miles from the remnants of this air station. The hangars are still there (at least some of them). A construction company owns the property now. Sad, actually, when thinking of how active the base was. The type of hangars are the same as ones at Corry Field and Saufley; also here in Pensacola.

Ellyson would be a cool project for someone who creates scenery! I am NOT one who creates, but DO appreciate those who do!! NC:encouragement:

True enough, Chief - it was around for a long time, trained a vast number of Navy, Marine and USCG helo pilots. I got to (TRY!) to fly an H-34 there on our Midshipman aviation orientation in the summer of 1963. Handling manifold pressure and RPM simultaneously was a total joke when you first try it!
