I was in the area so I stopped by and snapped some pics. I always feel weird going back to that place after BMT.

Congrats to Lackland. Their aircraft look great.
The base sure doesn't look like it did when I did Basic there in 1952.

I suppose they wanted to honor the aces, but it just looks wrong to see a P-47N painted as Gabreski's mount, and a P-51H in WWII combat markings. But I guess I'm just a geek.

Good pics, thanks

Wonder who got to do the taxidermy on all those "beasts"
"Shot", Stuffed" and "Mounted"

Any more pitures of the Harvard?

My uncle told me the plack (sp?) infront of the B-24 is a dedication to the 459th Bomb Group the same group my grandfather was apart of.

Can the public get to the planes?

No public access, I was there in 2000 and showed them my D.L. and proof of ins and they let me on. {GREAT place too} but after 911 military I.D. is requried. I'll miss it.
