FriarChuck Posted December 9, 2021 #39 Posted December 9, 2021 Very cool. I’ve been in the 55th Wing my whole career since graduating from UPT in 2011 so I love to see pieces of heritage like this. Thanks for sharing. Friar
yokota57 Posted December 9, 2021 Author #40 Posted December 9, 2021 Thanks for looking! Check out this late 19th-early 20th century photo of Fort Crook (looking south). The person who took the photo is standing on the exact spot where the Martin (Omaha) bomber factory was built ("Enola Gay"). I lived at Offutt from 1960 to 1965. Lots of interesting history there. Best Wishes
