Having spent three and a half year at “The Rock”. The biggest C-130 patch on the planet.

Outside of an enormous ramp and 100 plus Herks divided up between four squadrons. One almost permanently TDY awaiting flight or maintenance. Plus a small Air Guard ramp that had Voodoos back in 1973-76. There is really not a lot to the base.

Maintenance hangars, barracks, NCO, O and All Ranks clubs. Some admin. Andrews is larger by comparison.

If you were back there during the 70s then you had the SAC Wing there with the Titan II ICBMs.
