Navy Dare
The Dare County Bombing Range or "Navy Dare" is located in Dare County, North Carolina. The range serves as an air to surface bombing range for the United States Navy.[1] The range is also used for some select special operations (such as SEALs) training due to its remote location and harsh landscapes. The traffic is mostly light jet aircraft dropping 25 lb to 2000 lb dummy bombs. The most common sights at the range are the F/A-18 Hornet, Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, and the T-34 Mentor.[2]
