Not sure which came first: the FB-111 retirement, or Pease's
inactivation.

I think the 111s went away, and there was only a tanker wing here.
Then they spent a quiet summer repaving the runway; the KC-135s were
moved to New York state. Then they came back. Then they deactivated.
Of course the tankers became National Guard, so the change wasn't
total.
