1971-74
I checked into NAS Whiting after NAS Lakehurst A school, in January 71. I was there for three months and sent to OLF Middleton 65 miles north on Whiting. Evergreen, Alabama: USN you've got to be kidding.One crash made the rescue all souls on board safe. Other than that lots of touch a goes, and wheels watch. See More

Did you have MB 5 crash trucks? The OLF was ten miles from the base were we lived. NAS Cecil Field, and our one runway was half mile long with two approaches. We had mostly A7's A4's as well as F4's. Runway bounces for carrier quals. We sat on edge of runway in our MB5's in case of emergency. In 18 months I was there we only lost one aircraft and it happened outside our perimeter not on the runway. I stated a discussion on the Cecil Field command page if you care to look. It's titled OLF Whitehouse
