MP has the answer to this question: Build a separate building.

Colonel Ford was a bitter man. Korea, Vietnam and never flew a combat mission... strictly a bus driver. He stopped me one day because I was wearing an AFCM but nothing else. He couldn't believe an airman would have the Commendation Medal and not a good conduct medal (3 years of service). I did 5...

I was at RAF Mildenhall in the mid to late 1070's and remember the Reserves from Texas flying in with a Connie for the airshow. The 513th TAW CO got pissed because they all wore orange flight suits with cowboy boots and hats.

Well, shoot! I got up early and then figured out I had another hour to wait. I hope SWMBO doesn't track me down with the Honey Do list.

Damn! That is one beautiful piece.... Almost makes me want to buy a biplane kit Almost

March AFB was on my list of places to visit, unfortunately it had pretty much closed down when I got out there in '03. It had been 15AF headquarters prior to that, but got caught up in BRAC. Just about ruined the economy in that area.
