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. |
