Naval Air Station (NAS) Kingsville TX

Naval Air Station Kingsville

 

Mission

The Naval Air Station's primary mission is to train tactical jet pilots for the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
 

History

NAS Kingsville began its history in 1942 as Naval Auxiliary Air Station Kingsville (NAAS) functioning as an auxiliary field for NAS Corpus Christi. Back then, the missions was similar today's operations; training (or in this case, support for training) for Navy pilots.
 

At the time, both fighter and bomber training was supported, but in 1960 the installation became an all-jet training facility after a brief "intermission" when the site was placed into caretaker status from 1946 to 1951.
 

In 1968 the airfield became what it is today. Redesignated as NAS Kingsville the Air Station began hosting flight training and is know as one of three centers for Navy jet training operations. Today the Air Station hosts approximately 500 military members (including student jet pilots) and more than 200 civilians. For more information see NASK homepage
