    I was also stationed here, 1969-70 and enjoyed my time there, such an amazing place to see. It is almost like if someone asked, "Say, where did you go while in the service?". "Oh, I was stationed on the Moon." Going to Thule is something akin to that, so different from everything else I had ever seen. Now all these years later, I could still show you how to get to the BX from my barracks! Some memories never fade.

    I was stationed there in 1967-68. Unlike many, I loved my year there. Will never forget the day the B-52 crashed 7 miles from base on Jan. 21, 1968. I volunteered for two days building pre-fab huts on the ice for the SAC guys who were coming in to investigate the crash. Interesting times.

      I was one of 4 mechanics that my base sent there to be drivers in february...still got my orders and pics of the base....the first couple of days were dark and cold....the huts out on the ice were a welcome coffee break. One saturday, we got taken on a field trip out to the abandoned NIKE site...the sun had come up by then...

      I was there 1968-69, arrived day after Thanksgiving 1968. Like you I loved my time there. It was an unforgettable experience. I was only there 6 months due to an error by the Air Force. I was Radio Relay and that had been taken over by RCA on a civilian contract. So I worked in Ground Radio while I was there.

      Cold temperatures => high air density => high aerodynamic lift => short takeoff distance. But also, higher drag, for the same reason.

    F-22's, F-35's, and all this talk about stealth tech I find amusing. A C-130 may never be stealthy but they have always been VERY SNEAKY. Invisible to radar? F*** that, let's just fly under and around the radar.

    When I was a kid several times a week flights of 4 to 6 C-130s would fly right over our barn, probably using it as a navigation point as they would change their heading right after that. The cool part of this was they were only about 100 feet high, as they were doing under the radar training with the radar base about 10 miles from our house. You could hear them coming but not see them, then they would climb up over the woods to one side of our fields then drop back down when over the fields. Then do the same with the woods on the next mile. A friend who's place they also flew over said that if he was on the top of their silo he could see the tops of the plane. Then in the late '70s a couple of them crashed and then after that they had to stay above 500 feet. Then not too much later they closed the radar base and they stopped flying in the area.
