Air Combat Command? When did this change? I thought that was a SAC base when I was in. Gez, did they change the name of Alaskan Air Command too?

It was a SAC base when I was in also. In the museum photo you can see the wing of a SAC B-52 in the background and next to that to the left of the B-52 and not visible in the photo is an EC-135 also SAC vintage and the aircraft I flew many times while on active duty at Ellsworth. Some legacy, yes folks the aircraft I flew last in the USAF now resides in a museum as well as the cold war missions we flew. I believe that was the last war we clearly won without firing a shot.

There is another photo up thread of the B-1 being towed on a road that I believe is the aircraft being taken to the Ellsworth museum.
