Great.

I'd love to go back... perhaps someday I will.

When I was there they still had active EB-57 Canberras. They were active until 1979, as far as I know. I left at that time.

We also flew out to the sights often in Hueys, as the pilots needed air time.

Yup, Got there in 78 myself. They were still flying, I think, until about 1980. Coulda been 79, hard to really say. I do remember they had some problems with the landing gear on those. I witnessed them them foaming the runway on a couple occasions. lol

At Vandenberg AFB they had huey’s and they used to fly low to the point that you had the water spray on the helicopter.
