Naval Air Station Cecil Field
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
NAS Cecil Field was the largest military base in the Jacksonville, Florida, area. Including nearly 2,500 acres at OLF Whitehouse, the Cecil Field complex consisted of 22,939 acres; in addition, the base leased another 8,379 acres. As directed by Congress in BRAC 1993 and BRAC 1995, NAS Cecil Field was scheduled to cease Navy air operations in late 1999 with full Navy operational closure in mid-2000. When the lights were all been turned off and the doors locked, all that was left of the largest military installation in the Jacksonville area and the South's only Master Jet Base will be 30,000 acres of land, some buildings and equipment, and memories spanning six decades. The base officially closed September 30, 1999. Approximately 17,200 acres were transferred to the private sector, the remainder was transferred to NAS Jacksonville. (globalsecurity.org)

Demolition of JAX Raceways
milwhcky (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: milwhcky.
This auto racing facility closed in 2004 and has since been torn down. It featured a 1/2 mile clay oval, a 1/8 mile drag strip, mud bogs, and a short dirt oval for karts. In addition to weekly stock car races, it hosted regional and national touring series events.
It started off with just a 1/4 mile paved track when it opened in 1968. The drag strip was built soon afterwards. In 1973, the 1/2 mile track replaced the smaller paved oval. It previously went by the names of Gator Speedway and New Jacksonville Speedway.
The 66 acres of land was sold for $3.2 million to residential builders. The birds eye view coverage of the land shows the grandstands being torn down.

Peter Rummell is a prominent real estate executive who is known as the father of Disney's planned community, the 5,000 acre Celebration, Florida. In 1983, he became Vice Chairman of Rockefeller Center Management, which markets, leases and manages the 18 buildings in midtown Manhattan that encompass Rockefeller Center in New York City. He left in 1985 to become president of Disney Development Company. At Disney, he pitched the idea to Disney CEO Michael Eisner in 1989 and described his vision of Celebration as having "human scale with sidewalks and bicycles and parks and the kind of architecture that is sophisticated and timeless. It will have fiber optics and smart houses, but the feel will in many cases be closer to Main Street than to Future World" The division also managed the company's holdings adjacent to theme parks in Anaheim, Orlando, Tokyo and Paris.
Rummell was promoted to chairman of Walt Disney Imagineering and remained with the company until 1997, when he was hired by St. Joe Company in Jacksonville, Florida to transform Florida's largest landowner into a major developer. As chairman and CEO, he guided the company to plan and develop 20 major resort and residential communities. He left the company in 2008 and was briefly president of Nicklaus Companies.
From 2003 to 2006 Rummell served on the Board of Directors of Progress Energy and Carolina Power & Light; he serves on the board of The Haskell Company. In September 2007, Rummell was named a director of Real estate investment trust AvalonBay Communities due to his extensive experience in real estate development, and is currently a private investor.

NAS Jacksonville Heritage Park
To the far left is a P-3 Orion: This aircraft was dedicated on June 15, 1990, as part of the station's 50th Anniversary celebrations. It was placed so personnel could get a good look at the large patrol aircraft that flies out of NAS Jacksonville. VP-30, the largest squadron in the Navy, currently trains pilots to fly P-3s. The P-3 is flown by three operational and one reserve squadrons out of NAS Jacksonville. The logo on the tail is the insignia for Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Atlantic. The Commodore of this wing usually has his name painted under the pilot's window.
In the main grouping starting at the top center and going clockwise:
SH-3H Sea King: The HS-3 was dedicated on June 15, 1990 (along with the P-3). It was the main helicopter flown out of the station until finally retired in December 1999. It has been replaced by the SH-60, which all of our operational squadrons and reserve squadron HS-75 currently fly today. The SH-3 was the main helicopter used by the Navy in Jacksonville for more than 25 years. This helicopter's markings change from time to time as it usually is painted with the markings of the most recent squadron to win the Battle "E" award.
P-2V Neptune: The P2V was placed in the park on August 18, 1993. This plane was used by the station’s patrol squadrons prior to the P-3 entering service. It was seen in the skies over Jacksonville from December 1949 until 1971. This actual plane on display was assigned to VP-5 at NAS Jacksonville in the 1960s. It went to a private aircraft collector after the Navy retired it but was donated to NAS Jacksonville in 1992 and restored by station forces. It stands as a tribute today to the many personnel who flew the P-2V out of this station. Station based reserve squadron VP-62 adopted this aircraft, and their markings are shown on the aircraft today.
A-4 Skyhawk: The A-4 was moved to the static display park on June 1, 2000. This aircraft was another obtained from the NAS Cecil Field collection and moved to NAS Jacksonville shortly before that station was decommissioned. The A-4 also had a history at NAS Jacksonville as it flew with VA-203 prior to being phased out for the A-7 Corsair. The A-4 had a more extensive history with NAS Cecil Field, however. Numerous squadrons flew this aircraft in the 1960s and early 1970s. This aircraft also was reworked at the Naval Air Depot from 1961 to 1973, with over 1,200 aircraft going through the facility during that 12-year period.
F-8 Crusader: The F-8 Crusader was moved to the static display park on June 1, 2000, along with the A-4. Another aircraft obtained from the previous NAS Cecil Field collection, this aircraft did not operate with any squadron at NAS Jacksonville. It was used by several NAS Cecil Field squadrons. The aircraft was reworked by the Naval Air Depot, however, from 1962-1968.
A-7 Corsair: The A-7 was dedicated on February 26, 1999. It bears VA-46 markings, a squadron that actually operated out of NAS Cecil Field, not NAS Jacksonville. The Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Officer at NAS Jacksonville at the time had previously been based with VA-46, and thus asked for permission to paint those markings on the aircraft. This aircraft was a static display for eight years at Jacksonville University (JU) prior to coming to NAS Jacksonville. Representatives from JU wanted to dispose of the aircraft to expand the campus for football, and Captain Turcotte agreed to display it at NAS Jacksonville. The A-7 did fly out of NAS Jacksonville, however, with VA-203 in the 1970’s. The A-7 was also reworked for almost 30 years at the Naval Air Depot. VA-46 was the last squadron to fly the A-7 prior to disestablishment on June 30, 1991 at NAS Cecil Field. The A-7 Corsair saw combat in Operation Desert Storm where it participated in the first combat air strikes.
PBY Catalina: The PBY was a seaplane based at NAS Jacksonville from 1941-1946. Approximately 100 of these aircraft were assigned to the station during those years. It would take off and land on the St John’s River. Some of the seaplane ramps it used are still intact at the station today. This aircraft was used for anti-submarine patrol and would rescue downed pilots during WWII. This static aircraft was sent to the Brazilian Air Force during the 1950s and remained in Brazil until 1987. At that time three PBYs were obtained by the National Museum of Naval Aviation. This one was flown to NAS Jacksonville and was restored during a six month project. It flew one last time over Jacksonville on May 16, 1986, and was placed on static display shortly after that flight. This plane is a tribute to all who flew out of NAS Jacksonville in PBYs. The markings also have correct historical meaning. The letter "J" stands for Jacksonville. The letter "P" stands for patrol. The first single letter was either a 1 or 2, since there were 2 squadrons of these aircraft assigned to NAS Jax during WWII. The last number is the sequence number of the aircraft.
TBM Avenger: The Avenger was placed in the park on April 21, 1998. This aircraft was used by the VS community during and after WWII. This plane was literally brought to NAS Cecil Field in a basket and pieces and was restored by personnel of the VS community. With the closure of NAS Cecil Field and the transfer of the VS community to NAS Jacksonville, this static also came to the station. The TBM was flown extensively out of NAS Jacksonville and NAS Cecil Field during the 1940’s.
S-2F Tracker (predecessor of the S-3 Viking): This plane was placed on static display on May 5, 1998. This aircraft was the plane flown by the VS community prior to flying the current S-3 Viking. It has been used in the squadrons at NAS Cecil Field, and has been a station plane based at NAS Jacksonville. The plane was designed to make carrier on-board delivery (COD) as well as conduct antisubmarine warfare. This plane was actually one of two that sat in a field at NAS Jacksonville for years after being previously used for parts by the Naval Air Depot, when they reworked these aircraft types in the 1970s. Both were towed to NAS Cecil Field in 1988, one was restored using the parts from both aircraft and then placed on static display at that station. Ten years later, it came back home to NAS Jacksonville where it remains on display.
S-3 Viking: This aircraft was placed in the park on March 24, 1998. This plane was just repainted with the latest winner of the battle "E" award. It also has been marked in the past with the Jacksonville Jaguars logo, located behind the canopy. The Jaguars’ logo use was officially authorized by Wayne Weaver of the Jaguars. This plane is flown by the VS squadrons which transferred from NAS Cecil Field to NAS Jacksonville during late 1997 and early 1998.
And in the center under the pavilion is an N2S Stearman: The station obtained an N2S Stearman that has been on display since 2002. The Stearman was one of the first aircraft assigned to the station when formed in 1940.

E-6B TACAMO at NAS Cecil Field
Picture
The E-6 ABNCP modification program was established to upgrade TACAMO operational capabilities by incorporating a subset of United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOMM's) EC-135 ABNCP equipment into the E-6 aircraft. The modified aircraft have the designation changed from E-6A to E-6B. The E-6B modified an E-6A by adding battlestaff positions and other specialized equipment. The E-6B is a dual-mission aircraft capable of fulfilling either the E-6A mission or the airborne strategic command post mission and is equipped with an airborne launch control system (ALCS). The ALCS is capable of launching US land based intercontinental ballistic missiles. The E-6B is capable of performing both the TACAMO and ABNCP missions. This modification enables USSTRATCOM to perform current and projected TACAMO and ABNCP operational tasking using the sixteen dual mission E-6B aircraft. The E-6B provides survivable Command Control & Communications (C3) force management communications for the NCA via multiple frequency band communications. The E-6B was conceived as a replacement for the Air Force's Airborne Command Post due to the age of the EC-135 fleet. The first E-6B aircraft was accepted in December 1997 and the E-6B assumed its dual operational mission in October 1998. The E-6 fleet will be completely modified to the E-6B configuration by the year 2003.
In the TACAMO role, the E-6 flies independent random operations from various deployed sites for approximately 15 day intervals. Each deployed crew will be self-supporting except for fuel and perishables. The mission requires a 24 hour commitment of resources (alert posture) in the Atlantic and Pacific regions.
In the ABNCP role, as directed by USSTRATCOM, two aircraft are flown to Offutt Air Force Base (AFB) to embark the battle staff and the ALCS components and will be placed in an alert status. Maintenance of the systems is performed by the standard compliment of squadron ground and in-flight technician personnel with the exception of the ALCS which was maintained by the Air Force for eighteen months after Navy IOC.

"Sizzlin Liz" P-51 Mustang N351DM / QP-H (cn 122-40998)
The North American P-51 Mustang was a successful long range fighter aircraft which entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of World War II. Its sleek lines make it one of the most distinctively recognizable aircraft of the Second World War.
The P-51 was used mostly as a bomber escort in raids over Germany - ensuring Allied air superiority over Germany after 1944. It also saw significant service against Japanese air forces in the Pacific War, and was the main fighter for the United Nations in the early stages of the Korean War. The P-51 was replaced by jets in Korea but remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980's.
The definitive version of the single-seat fighter was powered by a single two-stage supercharged V-12 Merlin engine and armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 machine guns.
