1952 - portion of Naval Air Station Miami now used by U. S. Coast Guard Air Station Miami

Naval Air Station Miami, Florida


This image was cropped from a much larger aerial image and depicts the portion of NAS Miami that is occupied by Coast Guard Air Station Miami. The hangar and other buildings (supply building, vehicle maintenance buidling, administration building, the galley, officers wardroom and others) plus the grass islands along the main drive from the front gate to the hangar are still there. I worked in some of those buildings as a CG Reservist from 1978 to 1994 and I believe the walls were poured solid concrete because you couldn't drive a nail into them to hang a photo.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
