NAS Atlanta??

[Bryan]

This is a cool site-- it lists all of the squadrons by location. As you see I guess there is a NAS Atlanta. A reserve air wing is locatd there which includes two VFA squadrons. Didn't know there were any "A" models left in service!

I am originally from the Chattanooga, TN area and I use to go to Atlanta quite a bit in the summer to a water park and Six Flags down there (only about hour drive). Every time I went down there, they were flying quite a bit. Anyway, just thought I'd throw in my .02.

Oh, oh, oh...this is ME! (I grew up in Marietta).

Yes, there is a NAS Atlanta. It's located on the grounds of Dobbins ARB, which is actually in Marietta. All units stationed there are reserve.

VFA-203 Blue Dolphins (F/A-18 Hornet)
VR-46 Eagles (C-9 Skytrain, will probably transition to the C-40 Clipper)
VAW-77 Nightwolves (E-2 Hawkeye)
HMLA-772 Red Dogs (AH-1W Supercobra, UH-1 Huey)
VMFA-142 Gators (F/A-18 Hornet)

Also at Dobbins ARB/NAS Atlanta is the Lockheed facility where they build the C-130 Hercules and the F-22 Raptor.

I have had the opportunity to fly the PAR RWY 29 approach into Dobbins. Definately way cool (once my instructor let me take the hood off). The Navy side is on your left and the Air Force/Lockheed side is on your right. Lockheed had about 20-25 C-130s parked out on the ramp. VFA-203 had their "Soviet-bloc" aggressor -18s parked outside also.
