[Scan-DC] Mtn Ang base in Baltimore?

[Cathy Drzyzgula]

Isn't the MSP area at the east end of the airfield (or maybe SE, but not  
west)?  Our 4-H group had a tour there in February.  I was very impressed  
by their operation, and their openess to explain what they do.  When we  
visited we saw 3 helicopters, the on duty aircraft, another (the last tan  
model), which was ready to leave for a new, black paint job, and one which  
was pretty much stripped down for maintenance.  The day of our visit was  
very foggy, so they couldn't fly, which left them lots of time to talk to  
us.
