That was just West of Pearl wasn't it? That's where the P-3s flew out of as I remember. This is bringing back good ole memories. Thanks & Cheers, DW
Interesting what has happened to the NAS. -->
Barbers Pt was decommissioned and renamed with its old Hawaiian name "Kalaeloa" in 1999. The airport itself was renamed John Rodgers Field. The Lockheed P-3 Orion patrol & reconnaissance squadrons moved to MCAS Kaneohe. The Navy still owns and maintains some facilities and housing. The State of Hawaii was ceded the remaining lands. The airport itself was renamed as the John Rodgers Airport under FAA control and local air traffic is controlled by the HANG. It is utilized primarily for general aviation training and the University of Hawaii/University of North Dakota flight training programs.
