About

Welcome to what could be the best tour of your military career.  Naval Air Station Whiting Field is the home of Training Air Wing FIVE, and together we form the backbone of Naval aviation training.  More than 60 percent of all primary flight training is performed at NAS Whiting Field and every Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard helicopter pilot receives their initial rotary wing training here.  Roughly 17 percent of all Navy flight hours are flown at Whiting Field annually, as well as approximately 12 percent of all Navy and Marine Corps flight hours.

Training Air Wing FIVE hosts 142 T-6 Texan II aircraft for fixed-wing training, 112 TH-57 helicopters, and the new TH-73A Thrasher platform for rotary wing training.  With more than 250 aircraft, the two airfields at NAS Whiting Field proper are augmented with 12 other Navy Outlying Landing Fields (NOLFs) to support the 120,000 to 160,000 flight hours accumulated here annually.  This accounts for approximately one million flight hours each year, more than Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport - the busiest civilian airport in the United States.

While NAS Whiting Field is the busiest Naval Air Station in the world, it is also located in an area with some of the most beautiful beaches and natural beauty in the world. From expansive forests, to the pristine Blackwater River, to the crystal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Santa Rosa County is a great place to live and work.
