Really?!? Huh. I didn't know that.

Well, I guess there were two bases because I watched them coming and going from NAS Key West.

Possibly two bases! I may completely wrong too, but my feeble mind thinks Norton was the right answer. I would rather TDY to NAS Key west for production than San Bernadino.

TDY at Key West? Sounds like a fate worse'n death. Especially when compared to the LA basin.

Ahhhhh, crossing the Pond at 280KTAS to the dulcet tones of the Allison T56s slinging 16 blades of Ham-Standards around and around and around. Or was the H-model 300KTAS? Some kids were lucky....

I remember a “Slog” call sign for a B-52. I figured it sort of fit...

32 blades and about 295KTAS for some of us these days. Though, they are much quieter in flight.
