barksdale ...bossier city
SAC headquarters...lived just off base ...we knew there was no where to run....
Course that wasn't quite enough---spend my last 3 years of High School in Wiesbaden, Germany which was the main Air Base/Airport sending in supplies during the Berlin Airlift.

I take my grandchild to swim lessons at Mike Woods Park. The entire pool has to stop and just be quiet when one of the B-52s takes off or lands. The instructors just can’t make themselves heard. Plus all the kids are just watching the awesomeness.
