[MilCom] Grissom ARB and 434th ARW

[Duane Mantick]

We recently had an article in the local paper
stating that the 434th was going to be TDY to 
"a base in Ohio"  ( I think we figured out that
it was going to be WrightPat but not 100% sure )
while Grissom gets its runway redone.  This multi
bazillion dollar project includes, I hope, funds
to dig up an (apparently) slightly radioactive
B58 Hustler that was hastily buried next to the
runway after an aborted takeoff and subsequent
main gear failure caused it to fall right onto 
its live nuke pod.

Anyway, if anybody has any info on WHEN this
movement will take place, please let me know - 
I'd LOVE to be able to record it if they all go
out on the same day, together.  Something 
close to 25 KC135's there, give or take whatever
is either on TDY elsewhere already or whatever
tankers they have as visitors.  I have a photo
from a couple years back at one of the Airshows
of a Turkish KC135 with its tail sticking out of
one of the maintenance hangars - its a pretty
funny shot....makes the building look like it 
wants to fly.  :-)

Thanks in advance
