Good evening, Lauren!
***HUGS***
It's great to see you this evening! Thanks very much for tonight’s Road Trip to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.
The one and only time I have been to Alaska was a 2 or 3 hour stopover at Elmendorf AFB 22 August 1969 on my way back from 'Nam. We were in the belly of a C-141 Starlifter fitted out as an airborne medical transport with cots and staffed by Air Force nurses and med techs.
We departed Clark AFB, PI - one leg to Guam - then to Yokota, then to Elmendorf. From there, we made one more stop at Chanute AFB and finished up at Andrews AFB, Maryland after over 24 hours in the air, plus stopovers.
From there, a 30 mile trip by ambulance to NNMC Bethesda, where I was met by my Mother and girlfriend.
