Location
Panama City, United States
Tyndall Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation located near Panama City in Bay County, Florida. It serves as the home of the 325th Fighter Wing and is a major training center for F-22 Raptor pilots and associated air defense personnel. In October 2018, Hurricane Michael, a Category 5 storm, caused catastrophic damage to the base, destroying or severely damaging a significant portion of its aircraft, structures, and infrastructure. A large-scale rebuilding effort was subsequently launched, with plans to modernize the base and incorporate advanced facilities and technologies.
