It is an awesome and sad sight. Many of us have old friends there.

Drive by this place all the time - truly amazing.

Having driven by the perimeter fence, it is a double take then a sorta like oh-my-gosh...is that what I think I’m seeing?!

It’s interesting to see those F-14s. I had read that they were all going to the shredder to keep any parts out of the hands of the Iranians.

Is this the area we were discussing yesterday? If so you will enjoy seeing this.

Mowed into the grass is the message “HI MOM”

Some bored groundskeeper, no doubt.

When I was stationed at DMAFB, the fleet of stored aircraft was over 4,000, and of that, nearly 1,100 were F-4s (if I remember my numbers right). As a matter of fact, they were considering bringing the F-4s out of the mothballs to use as drones.

In Japan back in 1961, my Father worked on tail numbers 446, 447, and 448 RB-57s. In the early 1980s I saw 446 on a MD NG B-57 and it was a heart warming sight.
