I was living in Pensacola when the Air Florida ?? 727 belly flopped into Escambia Bay a few miles short of the runway.




"National Airlines Flight 193 crash landed in Escambia Bay on the night of May 8, 1978, the plane had 58 people onboard."

55 saved / 3 drowned. A tugboat owner rescued the 55 that survived.

PNS is a very convenient airport and very easy to navigate. I moved here in 1997. Can't beat it as an area to live/vacation.

The Blue Wahoo's stadium on Pensocola Bay would be an great venue for the SEC Baseball Tournament!

I drove across the bay bridge (I-10) every day to work in Milton. You could see most of the tail and fuselage (depending on tide) for weeks it seemed. I was on call and had to go to the hospital and the smell of Jet A hit you the moment you walked in.
