Lived in Spokane, home to Fairchild AFB. Uded to be the home of the 92nd Bomb Wing. Place was full of B-52’s and KC-135’s. They said we likly had at least 2 ‘city-buster’ class bombs targeted on us.

Just don’t put Rebecca into the right seat of the ‘52 - nor the Rebecca from Seinfeld

I worked; for a time; in the White Room located in Indianapolis' Naval Avionics Center (the facility that produced the famous Norton Bombsight for WWII).

 

We were tasked with repairing and calibrating the guidance system(s) that sat atop the missiles in the nuclear subs.

 

I never thought much about getting vaporized at work; though it had been discussed before.

 

Heck; I lived less than a mile away from the plant as well, so my odds of glowing in the dark were a LOT greater than guys than drove in from the suburbs to work.
