Hefe, I thought that place was known as "Fort Goodfellow" due to its
Army heritage..?
Nope, that was just a joke name put on shirts by Army personnel assigned
to the base just to tweak us Zoomies. Seriously.
It started out as the San Angelo Air Corps Basic Flying Training School
in 1940, redesignated as Goodfellow Field in 1941. After the
establishment of the US Air Force in 1947 it was redesignated Goodfellow
Air Force Base in 1948. It was a nice place to be stationed for awhile
back in 1984.
