The cover is about Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton Ohio.
(Well, technically it's in Fairborn). It says.. "WRIGHT PATTERSON AFB CUTTING-EDGE AEROSPACE MONITORING". I grew up in it's shadow, and have lived all my life as it's neighbor. I have one of my scanners programmed with all of the frequencies I can find for it. The most interesting ones are the security and maintenance calls. I've heard all kinds of interesting com's. When I still lived right in Dayton proper, in (East Dayton, which is right very close), I used to see all the aircraft on approach and departure. When they would have big storms down South, they would evac aircraft to WPAFB and I would just sit on my deck and watch them fly in, it was great. I saw two kinds Stealth aircraft at low altitudes, and that was great. Back in the 80's, they flew in the 747 with the space shuttle hooked to the top, I put the kids in the car and we drove there to see it. What a sight! I'll never foregt it. Over the years I've been online, I have had a lot of people ask me if I knew if they really had the bodies of Aliens in the hanger 18 out there, and a lot of wild stuff. It's pretty funny. But, The Air Force Museum is the coolest place around. You can go there, and no matter what your age, you feel like a kid. At one time, WPAFB was the home of the SAC B-52 Flight Wing. they had B-52's lined up as far as the eye could see. I used to love driving by there. Well, I don't know if this post is on topic or not, I took the chance because it's on the cover of Pop Com. But if you ever get the chance to go the Air Force Museum, go, it's worth the trip. Have a good weekend everyone. |

Many years ago, my brother and I drove four hours just to visit the museum, and it totally exceeded our expectations. This year, my sales job is expected to take me to the Cincinnati and Dayton areas, and Wright-Pat is at the top of my list of places to go this summer (watching the Reds play and visiting WLW follow closely behind). Here's a couple of useful websites: http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ http://www.wpafb.af.mil/ Thank's for the links. I hope you enjoy your trip to the Cin/Dayton area. |

No Pop magazine in Tennessee? I am figuring on going to the Wal Mart
food store (after first stopping off at the Goodwill store,because it's right on the way) tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon.There is a Waldensbooks book store in the Metrocenter Mall,just across Highway 80 from doggy's couch. www.metromalljackson.com Last time I was in that book store,they had at least two different shortwave related magazines on the magazine shelves.I need to see if the book store can order a couple of books for me.I will try to remember to stop off at the book store and check it out. cuhulin |
