Naval Air Station Pensacola or NAS Pensacola (IATA: NPA, ICAO: KNPA, FAA LID: NPA) (formerly NAS/KNAS until changed circa 1970 to allow Nassau International Airport, now Lynden Pindling International Airport, to have IATA code NAS), "The Cradle of Naval Aviation", is a United States Navy base located next to Warrington, Florida, a community southwest of the Pensacola city limits.
 It is best known as the initial primary training base for all U.S.Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard officers pursuing designation as Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers, the advanced training base for most Naval Flight Officers, and as the home base for the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the precision-flying team known as the Blue Angels.
The United States Naval Aviation Hall of Honor, located at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida, recognizes individuals "who by their actions or achievements made outstanding contributions to Naval Aviation."
 Since its inception in 1979, the Hall of Honor has enshrined 80 people representing every element of the naval aviation family: U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, Civilian and every naval aviation warfare community.
 Selectees are chosen by a board appointed by the Director, Air Warfare Division, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, sponsor of the Hall of Honor, and approved by the Chief of Naval Operations.
The Naval Aviation Supply Corps insignia is a military badge of the United States Navy which is awarded to Naval Aviation Supply Officers (NASOs) of the Navy Supply Corps who have qualified for duties as a Supply Officer in support of naval aviation and are also qualified to serve in duty assignments onboard aircraft carriers.
 The Aviation Supply Corps insignia is one of four warfare badges issued to Supply Corps officers by the U.S. Navy.
 The others are the Navy Expeditionary Supply Corps Officer Badge Surface Warfare Supply Badge and the Submarine Supply Corps Badge.
The Indian Navy currently operates twenty-one air squadrons. Of these, ten operate fixed-wing aircraft, eight are helicopter squadrons and the remaining three are equipped with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
 Building on the legacy inherited from the Royal Navy prior to Indian independence, the concept of naval aviation in India started with the establishment of Directorate of Naval Aviation at Naval Headquarters (NHQ) in early 1948.
 Later that year officers and sailors from the Indian Navy were sent to Britain for pilot training.
 In 1951, the Fleet Requirement Unit (FRU) was formed to meet the aviation requirements of the navy.
 On 1 January 1953, the charge of Cochin airfield was handed over to the navy from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
 On 11 March, the FRU was commissioned at Cochin with ten newly acquired Sealand aircraft.
 The navy's first air station, INS "Garuda", was commissioned two months later.
 From February 1955 to December 1958, ten Firefly aircraft were acquired.
 To meet the training requirements of the pilots, the indigenously developed HAL HT-2 trainer was inducted into the FRU.
 On 17 January 1959, the FRU was commissioned as Indian Naval Air Squadron (INAS) 550, to be the first Indian naval air squadron.
 In the following two years, three more naval air squadrons—INAS 300, INAS 310 and INAS 551—were commissioned.
 The first two operated from the newly purchased aircraft carrier INS "Vikrant" flying Sea Hawks and Alizés, whereas the latter one, equipped with Vampires, was used for training purposes.
The National Naval Aviation Museum, formerly known as the National Museum of Naval Aviation and the Naval Aviation Museum, is a military and aerospace museum located at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.
 The museum was established 14 December 1962 with the initial facility located in a cramped 8,500 square foot building aboard the air station that had been erected during World War II and which was dedicated in June 1963.
 The Phase I portion of the current facility was dedicated Sunday 13 April 1975, although it had been informally open since November 1974.
 Construction of the new location began in November 1972.

French Naval Aviation (French: "Aéronautique navale" or colloquially "Aéronavale") is the naval air arm of the French Navy.
 Born as a fusion of carrier squadrons and naval patrol air force, the "Aéronautique navale" was created in 1912.
 The headquarters is under command of an admiral (ALAVIA) in Toulon naval base.
 The French Naval Aviation has a strength of around 6,800 military and civilian personnel.
 They operate from four airbases in Metropolitan France and several detachments in foreign countries or French overseas territories.
 Carrier-borne pilots of the French navy do their initial training at Salon-de-Provence Air Base.
Chevalier Field was the original non-seaplane aircraft landing area at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.
 Established originally in 1922 as Station Field, it was an expansion of the balloon operating field that opened in 1916.
 It was located on the northeast side of the Navy shipyard, on the western edge of Pensacola Bay and south of Bayou Grande.
 The small town of Woolsey, just north of the Navy Yard, had been razed for the creation of the airdrome.
 "Locals assumed the Army's involvement in the project and had to be informed that the field, initially called Station Field, was intended for the exclusive use of Navy landplanes."

John Henry Towers (January 30, 1885 – April 30, 1955) was a United States Navy admiral and pioneer naval aviator.
 He made important contributions to the technical and organizational development of naval aviation from its very beginnings, eventually serving as Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics (1939–1942).
 He commanded carrier task forces during World War II, and retired in December 1947.
 He and Marc Mitscher were the only early Naval Aviation pioneers to survive the extreme hazards of early flight to remain with naval aviation throughout their careers.
 He was the first naval aviator to achieve flag rank and was the most senior advocate for naval aviation during a time when the Navy was dominated by battleship admirals.
 Towers spent his last years supporting aeronautical research and advising the aviation industry.
