Great thread.

I was raised North of Ft. Worth about 50 miles and my Dad worked at Vough Aeronautics in Grand Prairie. There was a Naval Air Station there adjacent to LTV where they tested the aircraft Vought buil;t for the Navy.

I remember visiting both places as a child and seeing the old B-36 bombers. They used to have a big one parked out in front for years.

Here’s my own thread about a trip I made to Naval Base Coronado last weekend. Lots and lots of Pics of Naval vessels anchored there
