Pensacola Area OLF options (Saufley reopening soon?)

[Gatordev]

Ahhhh Saufley Field. Where I swore in and home to a minimum security prison. How things change. My grandpa flew out of there in the 50s.

It's still a working facility and as of 6 months ago, going to re-open as an OLF "soon." Guys who went through before 2004 flew out of there as well. The only reason it's "closed" was because of Ivan.

That's exciting. I like Saufley. Easy to get to and relatively quiet in that area.

You won't be driving there and if they open it back up, it's a little more of a pain in the ass to get in and out of there than the other 4 OLFs.

Obviously he hasn't seen the additional course rules for when Saufley's open.

I STILL have no idea what Grassy Point actually is. . .

Obviously I'm showing my lack of acronym knowledge.

Grassy point is the easy part (the LARGE point of land that goes into the bay on the west side). The thing I always had a hard time finding was the red and white (?) tower. I remember it from when I was a stud, and I've seen it as an IP, but it wasn't easy (for me) to find when going by.

And I came here from Norfolk, which makes any damn place look good by comparison. I hated that whole area.

Spoken like someone who's never been to the Lejeune/New River/Cherry Point area...

I think someone is volunteering for Duty driver

Gatordev probably means by air, seeing as you have to learn more course rules for entry and departure.

Saufley is still on the course rules test. I know that because we were told "dont worry about Saufley, it's closed" yet I distinctly remember missing the question that asked what the preset for saufley's RDO is -->16!

Will never forget it. :icon_rage

That must have been a tough day for you......I remember missing a question on our CC course rules test, and I have never forgiven myself.....

 

[Catmando]

Saufley, back in the day.........

 

[Birdog8585]

Old School wheels watch at Saufley. I'll take binos and a light switch over paddles for 8 hours any day. Man we're a lazy batch these days...

 

[BourneID]

Well the new and improved FWOP shows Saufley as closed for OLF Operations, and it was just put out in October, it would be a shame to have to do a change already.

 

[Gatordev]

Is the short break back?
