...USS Missouri...port of Dubai circa 1980's

Dubai! Wow, that brings back memories of a decade ago during the Gulf War at a small air base called Al Minhad. The few times my coworkers and I were allowed to get off base, we were told to tell anyone who asked that we were Sailors on shore leave. The UAE government didn't want the locals to know there were 3000 USAF troops based there. The newspaper would sometimes print a picture of one of our F-16s and label it as a Navy fighter. hahahaha
