An aerial view of the Naval Air Station at Norfolk, Virginia. In 1999, the Air Station was combined with adjacent but separate Naval Station to form a single installation known as Naval Station Norfolk (NSN). At one time, the air station side of NSN was host to more than seventy tenant commands, including several carrier groups, carrier airborne early warning wings, helicopter sea control wings, and Naval Air Reserve units. In addition, the station rendered support in photography, meteorology, and electronics to the fleet commands of the Hampton Roads naval community.
