Sgt Leo,
My dad used to take us to Old Silver Beach in Falmouth &
of course we had to go by "Edwards" - now Otis -
whenever we were on the Cape.
He took us quite a few times to see the Blue Angels perform too.
I could KICK myself now for not paying more attention.
Anyway, one thing that I have a vivid memory of - is a "park"
near Edwards where we used to always stop & have picnics.
(Do families do that anymore? I think it sadly ended in the 50s/60s.)
I remember the picnic tables were in a wooded area with lots
of boulders and, scattered throughout the trees, there were tanks
jeeps, and airplanes (I distinctly recall a Jap Zero). My brother & me thought
that place was so COOL! We couldn't figure out how all the tanks, jeeps,
and planes got there.
I wish I knew where it was, but I strongly doubt it's still there.
What a shame that we gotta rely on fighters coming from Jersey.
What genius made THAT decision
Especially considering that Logan was where the planes were hi-jacked
on 9/11.
M1 - I didn't include the Edwards link cuz those nincompoops had
a number of date mistakes in it.
