I have many good memories of the island. My last trip through was after the base was closed and I got to billet in the CO's house. <br /><br />One of my most favorite memories was watching the young birds learn to fly in the wind of the exhaust fan for the hangar. I have to admit I also found the landings of the "Gooney Birds" hilarious.<br /><br />Thanks for the pictures and stories.AWCS Heminger USN Retnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984017857385610234.post-72156182247482483832012-04-25T11:55:58.773-11:002012-04-25T11:55:58.773-11:00Pete,

I go to college in DC and have always been into history, so learning about what midway is like today is very interesting. I was also fortunate enough to see the shuttle get flown in, and got a video of it flying behind the Lincoln--certainly a once in a lifetime opportunity. <br /><br />Thanks again, and I look forward to future posts!<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr2F_nnZN0MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
