Naval Aviation Schools Command

The Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC), headquartered at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, has served as the primary training center for U.S. Navy aviation personnel since its establishment in 1943. Originally created to address the growing need for skilled aviators and support staff during World War II, NASC has continually evolved to incorporate advancements in aviation technology and training methodologies. The command provides foundational education for naval aviators, naval flight officers, and aircrew, focusing on both academic and practical instruction. Over the decades, NASC has played a pivotal role in preparing generations of Navy, Marine Corps, and international aviation professionals for operational service around the globe.
