  • It last served the Navy as a helicopter training facility through December 1973, by which time conflicts with air traffic patterns for what is now known as Pensacola International Airport, located just south of the station, coupled with the reorganization of Naval Air Training Command, led to a decision to close the field. Helicopter training was moved to Whiting Field, Florida, and flight operations were discontinued on 28 December 1973. The base was declared a non-aviation activity and claimed by the Naval Education and Training Program Development Center. Following the training center’s move to Saufley Field, Florida, in 1979, Ellyson was declared excess and the gates were permanently closed. It is now an industrial park with only a few of the Navy buildings still standing. These include the operations building, the two hangars, the academic training building, the dispensary and the BOQ that served the Navy personnel assigned to Ellyson. Portions of the ramp areas also still exist but the runway grid has been completely redeveloped.
