This picture reminds me of Summerdale in Fall of 1971 where you did your solo flights in the “Tiny Winny.” The instructor would get out and sit in the shade adjacent to a small building like this in the center of the old airfield and keep track of their students in the pattern……..I suspect the picture if someplace more central to Pensacola, but the same principal…..waiting to fly or keeping track of your students…mgb
