About

Naval Air Station Kingsville is one of the U.S. Navy’s premier locations for jet aviation training. It is an advanced airport fitted with the latest technologies. NAS Kingsville is operated by the United States Navy and only deals with military missions, regardless of their nature.

The airport is generally used for inland operations. The location and the long distance make it unable to support missions over water. Although it is somehow limited from this point of view, the naval air station is among the primary training grounds for the United States Navy. It is normally used for jet aircrafts. The primary mission implies selecting and preparing professional pilots for both the Navy and the Marine Corps. The aviation schools are also open for the allied countries of the United States of America, not to mention about the NATO members.

There are around 1,500 inhabitants and only 500 of them are actual military troops. There are also about 350 civilian workers, as well as more than 600 particular contractors for various services. The place is better known among the military troops for being the first one that benefited from the advanced Boeing T 45 Goshawk.
