Naval Air Facility Washington

Located on the far side of Andrews Air Force Base, the Naval side of the airfield provided escorted visits each Saturday afternoon of transient aircraft on the flight line in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Today Andrews is considered one base and is called Joint Base Andrews. These photographs were taken between 1979 and 1982, 27 years before the creation of Joint Base Andrews and are, therefore, in their own separate album.
