It's not SAC anymore, it's part of Air Combat Command but they still have the mission.  You SAC guys will enjoy this.

Still remember seeing the KC-135 and B52s doing their touch and go at a closed SAC base: Loring AFB, Maine.

One of my uncles was in the USAAC until WWII was over and he was in the reserves until he died. I had another uncle that was a pilot in the USAAC but he was shot down during WWII.

My DH was in SAC for a while. We were stationed at Pease, in Portsmouth, NH.

I'll send this on to my Dad who was SAC at Offutt AFB in Omaha NE

Sweet! Nothing like seeing a BUFF takeoff. It's amazing that most of them are still in frontline service 50-60 years after being built.

Wasn't their motto "Peace Is Our Profession"? I believe in some bases they had "War is our profession, peace is our product".

At the height of SAC in the 60's they had bases in England, Lybia, Guam, Thailand, and Puerto Rico.

lol...for my 9th grade research report....I did

"Modern Military Aviation"....after that, I was hooked....and thought of as slightly strange. Everyone else did theirs on teen pregnancy, suicide, and other teen issues.

I argued over the "B" he gave me....eventually got an "A"...I researched that for weeks on end. I literally got educated on some serious stuff....and I wanted credit for it :)

Absolutely. Been there, done that. As a security specialist. Serious stuff. But soooo boring most of the time. I did, as an E2, throw down on a major trying to penetrate a Minuteman missle site. He thought he'd 'Order" me to open up. Nope.

ahhhh...Thee good 'ole days...I was a SAC trained killer a few times over. I was at Pease AFB NH in the mid 80s with the FB-111 and at Carswell AFB Tx late 80s to early 90s with the BUFF. Went to Jeddah SA during Desert Storm/Shield from Carswell supporting the BUFFs. Boy they tote a lot of ammo!!!

Out..I went to Loring in the mid 80s to do of all things, play in a Miller Lite softball tournament.
