Naval Air Station Pensacola Forrest Sherman Field

Naval Air Station Pensacola, designated Forrest Sherman Field, is a United States Navy installation located in Pensacola, Florida. It serves as one of the oldest and most storied naval air stations in the country, often called the 'Cradle of Naval Aviation.' The station hosts primary flight training for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard aviators. The airfield is primarily a military installation and does not serve scheduled commercial passenger traffic. It is home to the famous Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron, which is based here and conducts training flights over the Gulf Coast region. The station covers a large area along Pensacola Bay and includes numerous support facilities, hangars, and the National Naval Aviation Museum, which is one of the largest aviation museums in the world and is open to the public.
