Whiting Field



Whiting Field, home of Training Wing 5 is located 30 minutes north of Pensacola in just north of scenic Milton, Florabama. Whiting Field is actually two fields, North and South Fields. North field is used for primary training (T-34's) and south field is advanced Helicopter training (TH-57's). Sandwiched between the two are various amenities, simulators, and classrooms. There is a BOQ located on base, not many Marine Lt's live there, but it is convenient for simulator practice. There is also base housing located about 15 south of the base in the town of Milton, many married Marines and their families live there.

Whiting Field is the single busiest airport in the United States and TW-5 is responsible for over 10% of all Naval Aviation flights. It is also the only place in the world using "split field operations". In short, if you can cut it here, you will be a better pilot than your Corpus or Vance counterparts.
