This was my old hangar (C-7/101st AVN REGT) back in 1989-1993. (The big one directly to the right of the wash area) This entire bunch of Chinooks now reside at Ft. Hood, TX. ... with the exception of my aircraft (85-24347, which has been reassigned to a provate company and serves as a testbed for armor plating and bulletproof cockpits. C-7/101 is now a Blackhawk unit.
