THE “F5” (FASCINATING FACTOID FOR FANATICAL FLORIDIANS) –
So many planes! If you’ve spent time napping on the gorgeous beaches around Valparaiso, Florida in the Panhandle you’ve likely been startled awake a time or two by the sonic screaming of low-flying planes. This tends to happen when you’re down the street from the largest Air Force Base on planet earth. At 725 square miles, Eglin AFB is the largest in the world. Its roots date back to 1935 when it was created amid the outbreak of World War II to provide a new air testing base as part of the Valparaiso Bombing and Gunnery Base.
