Just out of curiosity, How is PI doing in the 20 years since he is gone- better or worse?


I duuno about that, but PI sure as hell took a dive since the U.S. Fleet withdrew...Lord knows I did my part to float the local economy in Olongopo....

I'm pretty sure Subic is an industrial park and initially NAS Cubi Point became the Asia center for either UPS of Fed EX.... can't remember which.

When the Enterprise et al came to port, the liberty party was 10,000 sailors. They had to schedule them to have enough Olongopo to go around. :)

I just remembered that I recently went for a Google Earth Trip to places I have lived.

I went to Subic and you can see it pretty good. I was able to locate our house. I couldn't find all the big POL storage tanks or the magazines we built.....jungle swallowd them I guess.
