Include anticipated mission changes and brief narrative explanation of change; also indicate if any current/projected mission changes are a result of previous BRAC-88, -91,-93 action(s). Current Missions a. Controls 165,000 square miles of unencumbered air space. b. Port Operations - maintains 8500 LF of unobstructed pier space, while providing support to the U.S. Coast Guard.. c. Tactical Aircrew Combat Training Systems (TACTS) with 165,000 square miles of Operating Area and TACTS Range of 2,400 square miles. d. Air Operations - Hosted 135 squadrons/units with 667 aircraft supported in FY93. e. Provides aircraft intermediate maintenance support to VF-45 (A-4, F- 16, F-5) aircraft, VFlOl Det Key West (F-14), and station SH3H helicopters. Provides ground support equipment to Navy, Marine, Air Force and Air National Guard aviation detachments. Precision measuring equipment (PME) calibration laboratory services (Type IV) to all aviation activities and tenant activities. DATA CALL 1: General Installation ~nformation, continued NO0213 f. The Station Air Traffic Control facility provides Approach Control services from the surface to 16,000 feet for both NAS Key West and Key West International Airport. The Military Radar Unit (Tarpon Control) schedules the OPAREAS and provides Ground Controlled Intercept services for over 7,000 intercepts per year for aircraft using the warning areas. g.

These training areas are only 3 minutes flying time north of the Air Station and supersonic airspeed is authorized in all warning areas. Currently, W-174D and W465C, which lie below 2400N latitude within the Cuban ADIZ, are not used. It is expected that those areas will be utilized again when relations with Cuba are normalized. b. Predominant weather conditions at NAS Key West is Visual Meteorological Condition (VMC) 92% of the year. Particularly in the winter months (NOV-APR), weather has a significantly positive effect on completion of required sorties. For this reason, combined with the availability of airspace and surge capacity at NAS Key West, the East Coast F-14 FRS (VF-101) has made a permanent detachment at NAS Key West one of their highest priorities. The mean air and surface temperatures at NAS Key West are 78 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively. At most other U.S. Air Stations, the lower air and water temperatures in the winter months require dry suit usage, increasing pilot fatigue and reducing safety margins in routine training flights and survival times in the case of overwater ejections. DATA CALL 1: General Installation Information, continued NO0213 c. Navy, Marine, Air Force and Air National Guard Detachments utilizing the Tactical Aircrew Combat Training System (TACTS) range situated in the northeast sectors of W-174 are afforded the most valuable Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) training available.

    Florida Keys Sea Heritage Journal VOL. 24 NO. 1 FALL 2013 USS SHARK OFFICIAL QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE KEY WEST MARITIME HISTORICAL SOCIETY Key West On the Edge By Robert Kerstein Over its history Key West has been many different things to many different people. Situated on a small island, only two miles wide and four miles long, and bounded by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, it was once the largest city in Florida; at another time one of the wealthiest cities, per capita, in the United States; and at yet another time, one of the poorest. Blessed with its beautiful setting and tropical climate, Key West has, like many attractive tourist destinations, undergone a mighty struggle over its identify. Buffeted over the years by economic forces and national cultural changes, not to mention the occasional hurricane, Key West has long been one of America’s most unique and intriguing places. In 1983, it elected Richard Heyman, the first openly gay mayor in the United States. And in 1989, citizens chose Captain Tony Tarrachino as mayor, who, as described by the Washington Post, “had been a … gambler, gunrunner, saloonkeeper, fishing boat captain, ladies’ man and peerless raconteur.” Historian Charlton Tebeau concluded that during the decades (Continued on page 3) The cover of Key West On the Edge.

Since then I have transcribed all of the Key West part of the diary, the only account of family life in Key West in the 1850s. During the research I have found information about him and his family and met a number of his descendants and found a photograph of one of his daughters Charlotte Hackley Spencer (Sea Heritage Journal, Spring 2009). Now thanks to Jane Jones we have this photograph of William Hackley. The diary was saved by Dr. R. L. “Lee” Goulding son of Harriet Hackley and Frank Ross Goulding, III. Harriet, one of William’s three daughters, was the 2nd wife of Frank. His first wife was her sister Sarah Hackley. To help understand the diary I have been gathering information about Hackley, his family and the people in his diary. William Beverly Randolph Hackley was born to Richard and Harriet Randolph Hackley on October 7, 1806 in Virginia. William Beverly Randolph Hackley. Photo credit: Jane Jones. Richard was a successful and well- traveled merchant, who resided at York. In 1806 he was appointed at that time.

  • Florida Keys Mile-Marker Guide
    Road Trip: Florida Keys Mile-Marker Guide Overseas Highway, mile by mile: Plan your Florida Keys itinerary The Overseas Highway through the Florida Keys is the ultimate road trip: Spectacular views and things to do, places to go and places to hide, hidden harbors and funky tiki bars. There are hundreds of places to pull over to fish or kayak or enjoy a cocktail at sunset. There are dozens of colorful coral reefs to snorkel or dive. Fresh seafood is a Florida Keys staple, offered at roadside fish shacks and upscale eateries. For many, the destination is Key West, at the end of the road, but you’ll find the true character of the Florida Keys before you get there. This mile-marker guide will help you discover new things to see and do in the Florida Keys. It’s a great tool for planning your Florida Keys driving itinerary. Card Sound Road 127.5 — Florida City – Junction with Fla. Turnpike and U.S. 1. 126.5 — Card Sound Road (CR-905) goes east to the Card Sound Bridge and northern Key Largo. If you’re not in a hurry, take the toll road ($1 toll). Card Sound Road traverses a wild area that once had a small community of Card Sound. All that’s left now is Alabama Jack’s, a funky outdoor restaurant and tiki bar known for its conch fritters and the line of motorcycles it attracts. (Don’t be afraid; it’s a family oriented place and great fun.) If you take Card Sound Road, you’ll pass a little-known park, Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park, before coming to Key Largo itself.
