That's what they told us when we asked. It's of similar construction to other 50's vintage hangars.
That being said, I cannot find any info to prove it..

I thought that hangar was supposed to be for some of the HS squadrons as they moved up -- still not sure where everyone is supposed to "live" once the Master Plan is fully implemented. By then, I suppose the Master Jet base will have been moved and the helos will be moved to Oceana. I am sure nearby residents will love the goggle hops going till 3am.
Maybe the new condo owners on Willoughby Spit will enjoy the heloport traffic until we move to Oceana................
Better tighten up those patterns to avoid the tranquil hot new place to live.
It appears I have threadjacked my own post.
I like how the 'views' shown on the website fail to show I-64 and the tunnel.
What a crock, I cant believe people are under contract for million dollars condos with a view of NOB.

Excellent pic BI.... gotta love that vapor coming off the rotor blades.
those ass-hats are gonna love the traffic departing via X-Ray and Alpha.
things sure are gonna get crowded in the local area once the master plan really starts rolling. there's gonna have to be a wing level air planning board just to avoid traffic jams in the hot pit (j/k).

Pags, since you seem to up on what is going on at NGU, do you know if C2's are staying there or going to Oceana?
Eh, traffic jams, schmaffic jams. There's nothing "better" than being stuck in the pit line up at 1600 at North Island, complete w/ a S-3 going opposite direction and holding up the line.

at least it's SD. Imagine Norfolk in an H-60 stuck behind 2 53s both taking on 18k.......
I've been there at K-Bay (albeit w/ slightly smaller -53s). But at least it was Hawaii.
More than once I've heard a section of -53s call the buoy arrival for a full stop right at the end of my flight. That was about the time I'd tell my copilot it was time to full stop for the pits before they got there. Suckers.

Suckers indeed.
Ah yes, the mad rush to the pit to beat the 53 there. I don't blame them and I would do the same thing.

It wouldn't have been that bad. The chicks on Tinian are hot from what I hear, anyways. :tongue2_1
