Yes it is.Quote:
As to why this airport was chosen, it isn't exactly clear.
Where I used to work, our Global VP of Sales would frequently join sales calls on Friday afternoon, during the Fall, in Omaha, Nebraska. These calls always happened when the Cornhuskers were playing on Saturday.CanyonAg77 said:
- Some Aggie in the chain of command wanted to see a football game
Yeah, especially after the Washington Air National Guard got busted for following the Seattle Supersonics around.CanyonAg77 said:
Back when I was a kid and dinosaurs roamed the earth, we flew in private plane to Easterwood for a football game. Would have been about 1967. Ramp was full of air force planes.
I think they were a lot looser back them about using USAF planes for "training".

Second crash, Nov. 28 1965: By this time Lt. McCain was stationed at Meridian, Mississippi, and was newly married to his first wife, Carol. McCain had flown to Philadelphia to attend an Army-Navy football game with his parents and was bringing back Christmas presents for the family in the baggage compartment of his plane. His jet engine quit over the Chesapeake Bay.
If you believe the Yeager autobiography, he would see a new plane, kick the tires, ask the pilot how to start it, and jump in and fly.CharlieBrown17 said:
I've talked to old guys that flew 135s back when you spent a lot of time sitting alert in the Cold War.
Copilots would basically checkout T-38s and a gas card for a week/long weekend to build hours. Would've been a badass time to be flying.
why didn't you ride your pterodactyl to Easterwood?CanyonAg77 said:
