Ah yes, a lot of great times at Cecil Field. Went to school to work on F/A-18's there. I might make a trip down to see the old field. What is it now? It has been a long time since I was there.

It's now a joint public/military airport since the BRAC decision in 1993.


From Wiki-

Cecil Field (IATA: NZC, ICAO: KVQQ, FAA LID: VQQ) is a public joint civil-military airport located in Jacksonville, a city in Duval County, Florida, United States.[1] The airport is owned by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority and services military aircraft, corporate aircraft, general aviation, and air cargo. The Florida Army National Guard's primary Army Aviation Support Facility and the U.S. Coast Guard's Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON) are also located here, the former operating CH-47 Chinook, UH-60 Blackhawk and C-12 Huron aircraft, while the latter operates the MH-65C Dolphin helicopter.

Cecil Field, commonly known as either "Cecil" or "Cecil Commerce Center," also houses the FCCJ (Florida Community College at Jacksonville) aviation course hangar and associated training aircraft. Facilities operated by major aerospace firms such as Boeing and Northrop Grumman are also located at Cecil, providing major maintenance and overhaul services for a variety of U.S. military aircraft.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Cecil Field is assigned VQQ by the FAA and NZC by the IATA. The airport's ICAO identifier is KVQQ.[3] The NZC identifier was the airport's previous FAA identifer when it was Naval Air Station Cecil Field, its former name until its closure as a naval air station in 1999.
