[MilCom] structure at Elemendorf

[Michael W. Scheel]

   I checked out the pdf on fas. I remember reading posts here about the 
one in Spain(?) that was torn down.

   I was also looking at Archorage International, (you can actually read 
the Polar name on the side of a 747s on a taxiway) if you really want to 
see something check the lake used for the seaplane base there. My friend 
couldn't believe all the seaplanes around it.

It finally got down to the question of which should be permitted
to remain in the field--the war correspondents or the soldiers.
There wasn't room for them both. It was decided to retain the
soldiers.
