Was re-cycled through there in 1973 for Avionics training.

During the Yom Kippur war, the international red cross was flying isreali wounded through there.

Security duty around there airfield in the woods. On horseback.

Yes, one of my old Captain JAG lawyers from Fort Benning, GA back in 1989 is a JAG colonel lawyer there now. Naval Air Station I believe that place is. I hope he is okay.
