I missed that period--was done and gone mid-1975. Was back once, with a Boy Scout troop. We took a winter camp up there (you can do it, making arrangements in advance)--and picked a weekend when the BlackHawks were exercising. The kids were awestruck.

Also happened to be an infantry/gunnery company on base, so we took the kids out to the range and they watched .50Cal machine gun barrels turn cherry-red.
