Travis AFB
My main delight was in seeing some live footage from Travis, taking me back exactly 40 years to my time out there. For Saintsman: the 60th Wing had some 50 C-141A aircraft at the time, plus C-5s building up to equip two squadrons, with a SAC KC-135 lodger unit into the bargain. A lot of concrete.
I was surprised by the final approach as it became increasingly clear that the landing was to be on 21R, never used for landings back then - but I see on Wikipedia that 21L has been dug-up to provide a C-17 Assault Landing Zone and will then be reinstated. And it looked as if the massed rows of WWII Liberty Ships, a lovely radar target, are no longer in the Carquinez Straits area - hardly surprising as I imagine they must have been pretty rusty by 1972.
Happy Days!
