JAL used to keep one or two 747s there for transition. I went there to fly one of the re-engined 727s when that program was underway. Got to fly a re-engined -100 and -200. Like adding a 4th engine.
Fortunately it was late spring and not winter. Would have been one tough assignment when it was an USAF base.. unless to use to old saying for most SAC bases, "..good place to hunt and fish."
