NAS Whidbey Island Washington
Naval Air Station Whidbey Island is a navy air base located in Oak Harbor, Washington. It was established on September 21, 1942 with two sections. One of the airfields operated by the air station is Ault Field, named in honor of Commander William B. Ault, who was lost after the Battle of the Coral Sea. The other section is known as Seaplane Base, originally intended to house PBY Catalina flying boats. This section is also home to the Navy Exchange store stationed in the base, and the Defense Commissary Agency that operates the store.
At present, the air station is home to nineteen active duty squadrons and two ready reserve squadrons. It also has a Search and Rescue Unit that operates two MH-60 Nighthawks. The station is also home to fifty tenant commands that provide training, medical and dental, and other support services, including the Marine Aviation Training Support Group assigned to the Marine Corps personnel and staff stationed in Whidbey.
