The AAFTAC (Army Air Forces Tactical Center) Symphonette was a symphonic group consisting of 22 strings and 3 woodwinds (flute, oboe and bassoon) made up of former symphony orchestra and studio musicians. The group was stationed at the AAF Tactical Center, Orlando Army Air Base, Florida, located two miles east of the city. Pinecastle Army Air Field, later named McCoy Air Force Base and now the present day Orlando International Airport, was located south of the city. Harry Salter of the Music Section and V-­‐Disc staff flew to Orlando for the session and airsickness was reportedly rampant.
