Centennial of Naval Aviation in San Diego

Last Saturday I spent my day with John at the 100 years of Naval Aviation in the North Island.
Since 1911 the Island has supplied the heartbeat of Navy Flying.

The nation's first aircraft carrier came here. Lots of pilots learn their crafts here through WWI & WWII.


The forerunner Navy's Blue Angels precision team was also born in San Diego.


San Diego has now the largest concentration of Navy and Marine Corps might. Planes and helicopters from North Island still head to sea aboard aircraft carriers on deployments around the world.
