These not long deserted USAF bases are always fascinating. So much spent on the infrastructure then just deserted and left. Superb report - well done. I remember the A10's well from the 80's - awesome piece of kit then and still is now. Very odd sounding engines though. Alconbury also had the very noisey and smokey F.4's based there. Wonderful aircraft - you could see them coming for miles with all that smoke. These were good to - 527th Tactical Fighter Training Aggressor Squadron, 1 April 1976 - 14 July 1988 - flying F.5's - they were Englands own Top Guns !!
