Mebbe they mean for flying ... decomm'd in '58 ... 'cause she was alive and well in the late '60's for the training of Photographer's Mates, if memory serves me ... the "Hook" magazine say Communications Technicians took their training there after the birds went away, i.e., CT training, but I remember PH's training there, too.(Corry Field) .. Ole trustworthy Wikipedia -- says decomm in 1958....
But CORRY was "alive" in any case.
Overhead view of NAAS Corry in July 1956 depicts the runways and old mat areas once referred to as “Suicide Circle” by aviation cadets in the late 1930s due to the field’s heavy traffic. The hangars, tower and administrative buildings lining the taxiway remain standing, though air activities at the field would soon be moved elsewhere.
In a 1998 overhead view, the outline of the old runway layout remains as do four hangars and other support buildings built in 1934 along the northern (upper) part of the field. The Navy Exchange/ commissary complex is in the center of the field, military housing occupies the southeastern corner while the Pensacola Naval Hospital is sited in the southwest corner. The Communications Technician A School is currently Corry’s principal tenant.

The old SP hangars I "think" were built circa 1917, old assed heavy doors to push, titty bouncers at the Breezy 21 Acey Duecy club when liquid lunches were permitted and an easy bushel of crabs to be hand lined from the seaplane ramps. Contrary to popular belief Norfolk was EASY to get laid at, all a young lad needed to do is open their mouth at the old Ocean Zoo Amuesment park or at the local beach. Of course I'm just going by hearsay because Id never have sex out of wedlock coming of age in the early 70's.
