FACs:

Any news about the effect of Hurricane Ivan on Hurlburt and the FAC and
Air Commando static displays, etc.?


Jack


If no one responds I will bop on over there this weekend and take a look.


In the mean time, can someone explain what these are and where
they are located?

Hurlburt Field is in the Florida Panhandle roughly halfway between Pensacola
and Panama City. Hurlburt is home of Air Force, special ops. Just inside the
main gate on highway 98 there is a park with assorted aircraft used over the
years by special ops. They include an A-37, AC-130, H-1, A-1 etc. The base
chapel has a stained glass window dedicated to the men who died in Iran during
the hostage rescue attempt.

The base is also where Doolittle practiced for the raid on Japan.
