Today’s Pic(s): As the title of this post indicates, two more shots of the SR-71 at the Strategic Air and “We must never forget that freedom is never really free.” Words to remember.
A couple of fun links from today’s Lileks: Bollywood action movie FX and Bugger! (an Aussie ad). Both will make ya smile at the very least.
And now it’s off to tap out the final installment of “A Lengthy Reminiscence.” I think.
When did you come through Mildenhall? I was there from 78 to 81. We were probably there during the same time. We would support the Beale troops drinking habits when they would come across the pond.
ReplyDeleteI was at RAF Uxbridge from mid '80 until mid '83, so ya, we were in Ol' Blighty at the same time! I used to go up to Mildenhall periodically to liaise with Higher Headquarters, or to catch the C-130 to Ramstein. And go to the BX, of course...coz we had no facilities at Uxbridge, which was a true RAF installation. Meaning that my unit, the 2119th Comm Squadron, was the one and only USAF tenant unit at Uxbridge. RAF Uxbridge has quite an interesting history, and is one of the older RAF installations. And seeing as how it was the last stop on the Metropolitan tube line, it was a great place to be stationed!
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures - too cool!
