Had a long, steep hill right by my house on Griffiss AFB in New York when I was about 10 and we did the same thing. Just about broke my tailbone when we did it with me sitting Tail End Charlie on a 4-man toboggan!

IIRC --and correct me if I am wrong -- Griffiss was somewhere near Utica-Rome. I was down near the old Stewart Airbase in Newburgh, New York.

Just outside Rome - there’s still some sort of R&D facility there, but when we were there it had interceptors and B-52s. I’m feeling old - Suffolk County AFB, where I was born, is closed, as is Griffiss, as are Howard and Albrook in Panama where I was on active duty. How Cannon AFB in Clovis, NM (my first active duty base) remains open is a complete mystery to me, as it’s the least attractive place on the planet to put a base...
