FReeper Canteen ~ Road Trip: Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina Good evening, Kathy! Good evening, all!
I cannot think about that air base without thinking of the Tom Clancy book, Every Man a Tiger, a biography of General Chuck Horner (CENTAF during Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield).
I had the book on tape in the car while commuting from Brooklyn to Parsippany and back.
I listened as he told stories of those cocky young pilots.
I listened as he described the heady days in the service.
But when he said that they once again had to go back to see more johnson ... well, I nearly crashed the car off the side of the road!
And on that happy note, I'll tip hat and run off into the night.

Seymore Johnson, I was a Boom Operator there from 1968-1976, then it was the 911th ARS, and the 19th Bomb Wing.

Actually, I have not been to the Carolinas. I’m plotting a trip down to Charleston and Wilmington for sometime next year (possibly the spring). A friend and I were going to go this year, but he had a severe illness in his family and had to use all of his vacation time on that, so we’re delaying it until the next fiscal year.

Home safe and sound....almost had the circles to myself. Much better that way.
Hope your day went well for a Monday and your commute was easy. *HUGS*

On the way down, we want to stop by the Congaree National Forest for a few hours before hitting Charleston. There we are going to go to Fort Sumter and Patriots Point (where several museum ships, including the
USS Yorktown, are docked - the Medal of Honor Museum is located onboard the retired flattop), plus tour the city.
After Charleston, we are going up the coast to Wilmington to visit the battleship USS North Carolina.
