Good Evening to The Canteen.
Always enjoy these visits to our military bases.
I was born and raised in Spokane and we had two Air Force bases just west of town... Fairchild Air Force Base and Gieger Field. When I was a pup, we also had an Army Base, Ft Wright. Ft. Wright became a community college campus in later years and Geiger Field became the Spokane Airport (GEG). I think the Air National Guard still utilizes Gieger Field. Fairchild once was home to B-52’s but is now a KC-135 base.
With all the Army and Air Force bases, I still joined the US Navy and my twin brother joined the US Marine Corps.
Thanks for the tour.
Welcome to the Canteen, az.b1bbomberfxr...thanks for sharing your aviation experiences.
Thanks, unique, for the hummer.

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...have you “visited” there?
I hope you get the kind that is soft on your poor nose and has lotion.
Oh, yeah! And believe me, the nose needs as soft as possible! Hubby has allergies as well but not nearly as bad so he is only allowed the regular...lol.
Good to see you tonight! :)
Good evening, wjcsux...that’s a pretty close attachment, being born there.
Happy New Year! ((HUGS))
Sounds fair to me....LOL! I can’t imagine a “cold” all year. Knock on wood...no allergies here.
That’s pretty much what it’s like. Only good thing about it (if there is such a thing) is I didn’t develope them until I was 40 so at least it hasn’t been for my entire life.
Hi, Ma and company!
Ahhhhhhhhh... Davis Montham. ‘The Boneyard’. Home of countless
obsolete airframes. Visited the base many, many times in the late 80s and throughout the 1990s. To procure (beg, borrow, steal) several C-141 cargo floors worth of conveyor roller panels, wenches and lots of loose Aero-Medical equipment.
The arrangement of Maintenance Stands in this photo reminds me of many an afternoon spent with my arms being soaked with JP-4 Jet Fuel while removing and replacing the engine’s Fuel Control. Lots of gas in that plumbing. Even with the Circuit Breakers pulled.
It’s nice to see that things never really change.
Jack.
Jack...good evening/morning...((HUGS))
Sounds like you have had quite the time there. Was your mission just to go to Davis-Monthan and see what you could find? Do you go anywhere you want?
Hope you and your furbabies had a good holiday season. Still hunting?
Welcome to the Canteen, ThunderSleeps....sounds like you have a really good time in the area. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Ma!
When I was at Andrews, AFB with its 12 Reserve C-141s. Every six months or so, a half dozen of us would visit The Boneyard on TDY status for a week. With a Shopping List of needed parts. Our mission while at Davis Montham was to bring whatever wasn’t nailed down.
I have a Midnight Mom Cat and her three variation of Growing Midnight Kittens roaming around the back yard. Also a tan and black striped Tabby. They like to chase and learn as Mom teaches them to kill and nibble on moles.
Haven’t seem much of larger intruders.
An interesting way to “shop”....gets the job done.
Glad you have the crew to keep your mole population in check.
Catch ya on the flip side!
G'night! *hugs* around!
I'm working on homework...this week is short again. Holidays are nice, but Monday holidays are tough, work wise.
SO glad to hear that you haven’t relapsed and that the doc put you back on antibiotics to help. Be very careful. ((HUGS))
Good morning, Dave....lots of military around you. It is funny about you and your brother going to 2 different services than those right near you.
Hope New Years and your birthday celebrations were fun. All those fireworks displays just for you. LOL!
