The alert facility that was just E of Runway 19 at the N end was torn down in 2009. It was a Cold War relic. 2017 is their 100th anniversary. Open House & Airshow, weather permitting, of course.

Yes, it was quite the dump. It took several months to get it usable after 9-11 as it was already slated for demolition. The paint was peeling so badly!

I will be at the airshow and for the first time in a long time will not be working a booth, so I will get to enjoy myself. Working on a 191st Six Pack Reunion sometime during that summer too, maybe even during the airshow.
