A note from the editorial staff

Naval Aviation News has a proud heritage. The United States Navy’s oldest periodical, it stands as the flagship magazine for all things Naval Aviation. As it has done since its inception, the magazine chronicles the development, deployment and transformation of the Navy’s aircraft and heralds the achievements of the men and women who fly and maintain them. Together, they make the U.S. Navy the world’s most powerful, respected and dominant naval force today and far into the future. For over a century, it has been an honor for Naval Aviation News to celebrate and promote the innovation, ingenuity and prowess of the U.S. Navy in flight.

Naval Aviation News ceased printing the quarterly publication in 2022. However, each edition—Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall—is produced in a downloadable, printable format.

At the conclusion of each year, Naval Aviation News intends to publish a “milestones” edition collecting an assortment of stories from the previous year’s editions and publishing them in a printed magazine. Those who would like to have a copy of this edition mailed to them can be added to our subscriber list by emailing us at NAVY_NANNEWS@us.navy.mil. Please include your name and full mailing address. There is no charge for this service.
