We added google maps to the NAS locations pages on the wiki and tied them into the home page here.  We need to get some good gouge on all the different locations up on the NAS pages so new aviators who are arriving from Pensacola can have a good idea of where to go and what to do.

Hoping to add info on Restaurants, Bars, BOQs, Hotels, Entertainment, NAS Checkin, and anything else that could be helpful.

You can also add locations to the google maps that are on the pages and include good info.

Use the links on the left to go to the NAS locations and add more info, or comment here to let us know what else to add

   Interesting. What a fantastic web-site! Thanks for the effort you have taken to publish. Continue the excellent work.

New FAA gouge has been added to the Gouge Wiki.  Good info on how to best get your civilian  certification for Commercial Single Engine Land and Helicopter License with Instrument ratings in Airplane and Helicopter. (if you are a helicopter guy)

You can go straight to the gouge page here.

Naval Air Systems Command grounded 104 Navy and Marine F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets Friday after inspectors discovered the airframes were developing cracks much earlier than engineers had thought.

The grounding order affects the first four varieties of Hornet — models A through D — and does not apply to aircraft now flying combat missions over Iraq or Afghanistan. The number of Hornets affected makes up 16 percent of the Navy-Marine A through D fleet.
-(Navy Times 14 Mar)

Looks like NAVAIR is taking a big cut into the stable of Hornets out there in the fleet. This will have impact across the fleet, and force a hard decision on leadership to fix the jets and cut back on JSF, or hope that we can rely on the rollout of JSF.

   Tough decision for NAVAIR. JSF will be nice when it finally gets here, but waiting to back fill all of those Hornets will mean a long gap in numbers of platforms.
