Warning Light Leads To Navy Helicopter Landing At Molino Tom Thumb
December 31, 2024
A Navy helicopter made an unscheduled landing about 2:20 Monday afternoon in Molino due to a warning light.
There were no injuries when the TH-73A helicopter landed in an open grassy area behind the Tom Thumb at Highway 29 and Highway 97.
“It was a warning light and a precautionary landing,” Whiting Field’s Jamie Coffey said.
There was no damage to the aircraft.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Escambia County EMS and Escambia County Fire Rescue responded.

They are flying over Molino because its the sound of freedom…nobody should have a problem with that.
“Why is the Navy flying over Tom Thumb anyway? Or around it.”
Whiting Field training flights fly all over the North Escambia area all the time. They stay over the area and train, or they land at the Atmore Airport.

Rumor has it, they were actually thirsty.

The beautiful thing about helicopters is you can land now and live.
I think it is two, JJ. I think months ago there was an emergency landing at Hwy 196 and Chestnut in the open field area.
I heard them fly over the house super low. We are in their normal flight path, but this was different. Glad they are okay!
Isn’t this twice in a year in this field
