Used to be an Air Force base. Across the river is Capital City --

Wasn't one in my time so it must have been long ago. I do recall
seeing a coupel of F7Fs in the hangar there for some reason. I don't
remember there even being another airport. We would have needed the
ils into the place, though.

I think the base was pretty active in that sissy World War 2. In the
last 30 years it has hosted an EC-130 ANG unit -- 193rd Special Ops
group. I spent a couple of years there.


OK, I don't remember seeing them there, but that's jut the memory! I do
remember th eapproach at Altoona, though. Or maybe it was Johnstown. You
basically flew down the side of a hill much of the way.
