4756 CIVIL ENGINEERING

Tyndall Air Force Base is located one mile southeast of Panama City, Florida. It encompasses about 29,000 acres on a narrow, 18-mile-long, northwest-southeast peninsula. Major communities surrounding the installation include Panama City, Lynn Haven, Springfield, Callaway, and Cedar Grove to the northwest, Panama City Beach to the west, and Mexico Beach to the southeast. The federal government activated Tyndall in 1941 as a flexible gunnery school for the U.S. Army Air Corps and re-designated it as an Air Force Base in 1947. Tyndall is currently part of the Air Combat Command, testing air defense systems and training air crews.
