That’s a good program. I’d love to be able to visit there

We flew a B-52 D in there at the end of the Vietnam War. Unfortunately the aircraft to bring us back to home station was waiting for us so we didn't have any time to explore.

I kind of figured they would do that after the accident at Ellsworth AFB that destroyed the aircraft. At least it's an intact aircraft that had been sitting in the boneyard and not like the FB-111 that crashed twice that we named "Frakenvark". http://fb-111.net/Page-15.html
