| Tomorrow at around 11:00 AM, a chopper like the one pictured above will leave the OLF 8 field in Beulah for the last time ---and Escambia County will shortly thereafter own this property. |
Tomorrow the United States Navy and Escambia County will exchange deeds to transfer the property know as OLF 8 in Beulah to Escambia County, and OLF X in Santa Rosa County, to the U.S. Navy.
At 11:00AM, a navy helicopter will land at OLF 8 in Beulah, and for the last time this helicopter will leave the field. This will be the last time a Navy helicopter leaves this field. This is a ceremonial act know as a "fly off"
Once airborne, I'm told a call will be made from the chopper directly to Navy Officials on the ground signifying that the helicopter has left and that the transfer of the property deed is authorized.
Three hours later, at 2:00PM, a small contingent of U.S Navy Officials, County Commissioners, and County staff will meet in the office of the County Attorney in Downtown Pensacola and at this point, the property deeds will be officially transferred, and we will officially own this property at this point.
Tomorrow is a big day for Escambia County and for the US Navy. Huge day.

Now what are we going to name it?
Wow! the end of an era, I knew site 8 was eventually going to close to give way for housing, and such for Navy Federal, just didn't expect it to be so soon.
I can finally go ride my dirt bike up the Beulah pyramid without worries of a federal crime!!! See everyone out there at 1101.
