The Air Force will conduct munitions testing in the Gulf of America on Thursday, April 24, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to a news release from Eglin Air Force Base.
- If needed, back-up missions are scheduled for April 25 and April 29 during the same hours.
The testing will take place in an active hazard area that begins approximately eight nautical miles south of the Destin East Pass. All vessels are required to stay clear of this area during the testing period.
Mariners will receive broadcast advisories and local notices about the testing on Channel 16 and HF upper sideband 2182 kilohertz. These broadcasts will be made by the Eglin Joint Test and Training Operations Control Center.

It’s the GULF OF MEXICO! Always has been & always will be! A FELON calls it that, because he’s not too smart!
Early European maps called it the “Gulf of St. Michael” (Latin: Sinus S. Michaelis), “Gulf of Yucatán” (Golfo de Iucatan), “Yucatán Sea” (Mare Iuchatanicum), “Great Antillean Gulf” (Sinus Magnus Antillarum), “Cathayan Sea” (Mare Cathaynum), or “Gulf of New Spain” (Spanish: Golfo de Nueva España). It’s been called many names. Gulf of the Americas would be the most appropriate. So you saying It’s ALWAYS been the Gulf of Mexico is incorrect.
Prefect joe..
The former Democratic Speaker of the House, Pelosi, once lectured Republicans, and I quote: “We’re all God’s children; there’s a spark of divinity in every person on Earth, and we all have to recognize that as we respect the dignity and worth of every person, and as we recognize our responsibilities to that spark, that divinity within us.”
Interestingly, it seems the liberal side doesn’t practice what it preaches. Not all things are opportunities to.be turned into a political point…
Simply put this article is about a fence that has been much needed for more than 3 decades….
