Changes

With World War II over, the Southeastern League started anew in 1946. Now named the Fliers and an affiliate of the [[Wikipedia:Washington Senators|Washington Senators]] . The team was named the Fliers in honor of the pilots at the Pensacola Naval Air Station. In '47 and '48, as an independent operation, Pensacola finished in the middle of the pack. Despite still not having a major league benefactor the next year, the Fliers put together the league’s best team to date.
