I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Don't know about that but I saw the video of the LGB attack on a Cub. It was taxying out between a couple of hangars. DH just behind the cockpit; that would have been in the bunk area. I was in an Iraqi one many years ago. The crew at Lyneham stayed in the aircraft and probably banked the per diem.

Also an F15E got an air-to-air with an LGB. A helicopter in the hover.
