A flight instructor offers tips to an aviation cadet Nov. 2, 1943, at the Pasco Naval Air Station. The pilots assigned to the base, which is now the site of the TriCities Airport, received 84 hours of flying time, including bombing and strafing runs on a practice range in West Richland. Bombing Range Road still bears the wartime name, although the naval station was closed shortly after the war. COURTESY OF THE U.S. NAVY
