Navy Dare

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 training due to its remote location. The traffic is mostly light jet aircraft dropping 25 lb to 2000 lb dummy bombs. The dummy bombs release a small amount of smoke on impact. This column is then scored via range personnel from a control tower on the far side of the range. In order to do this they use cameras to triangulate the position of the smoke. The most common sights at the range are the F/A-18 Hornet, Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, and the T-34 Mentor. [2]
