I was stationed at Offutt AFB in the 1980s as an Airborne Command Post Communications Equipment Repairman.
Thanks for bringing back some memories! I would say, “Good times,” but I’d be lying. The cold winters really sucked. And, tornado season was just plain wicked.
I was working in an EC-135 on the flight-line one day when it started rocking and rolling. Afterwards, I climbed down the hatch and looked around. Our plane was about 50 feet from where it had been and all the other planes on the flight-line were all cattywompus, too. Turns out, a small tornado had walked right down the center of the flight-line! [nervous LOL] Funny thing was, not a single plane was damaged. Go figure!
Anyway, thank goodness I eventually got sent to Hickam AFB, Hawaii! Now, those were REALLY some good times!
Cheers!
