Naval Air Station Pensacola, located along Florida's Gulf Coast, is a key training base for naval aviation.

Founded in 1914, the Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola is known as the "Cradle of Naval Aviation." For aviators in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, it is the main training facility. The National Naval Aviation Museum, which welcomes thousands of visitors each year, and the Blue Angels, the Navy's excellent flying demonstrations team, are both located on the site. Its Gulf Coast position makes it the perfect place for naval operations and aircraft training.
