NAS Whiting Field Florida
Naval Air Station Whiting Field is one of only two primary pilot training bases of the United States Navy. The base is located in Milton, Florida, and is now considered the busiest Naval Air Station in the world. This holds true because the air station is responsible for 46 percent of the Naval Air Command Chief’s flight time and more than 10 percent of the flight time of the Navy and the Marine Corps.
Whiting Field has served as a premier aviation training facility for the Navy since its establishment in July of 1943 and holds the primary mission of training student naval aviators in fixed-wing aviation, and in advanced helicopter training. The base trains 1,200 aviation personnel every year.
The base is home to Training Wing Five which has 3 fixed wing training squadrons and one helicopter training squadron.
