Don’t know about the 70s; my work at Kincheloe was in the 80s, 90s after the AFB closed (did some contract work for the state at the Kinross Correctional Facility that opened at Kincheloe in 1978, after the base closed).
Yeah I was there when SAC was up an running full speed. B52’s , kC135’s an F111’s....
Heard they sold the barracks area an made a prison area out of it an the rest was turned into commercial enterprises.
I still have a cabin at lake Ogidaki in Canada up on the ALgoma railroad out of SSM I share with family. Haven been in about 2 years. Brother an his family spend more time there than I do.
Is the old gun shop still in or near kinross called Tommys ?
I can’t recall exact location but this old guy had the best collection of old an new in the world !
Enjoyed my time there.
Stay safe...
