In Glasgow from 1959 to 1961. Got there before any airplanes. Played volleyball in hanger. Learned to fly with the Glasgow Aero Club in a Cessna 120. No radio. Watched that tower for Red and Green signals at take-off and landings. Much fun. Lots of stories. I could type so I volunteered to be a clerk for Lt. John W Schmidt, head of Field Maint. Got orders to cross train 12 jet engine mechanics to Auto-pilot guys. Submitted list with 11 jet engine guys and one airframe repairman currently wiring as a clerk. Got accepted. At end of training got sent to Kadena AFB as an airframe guy. Chief of Maint reassigned me to auto pilot shop. Worked on f-100's. Later found out I was the only one to make the change. Someone decided the jet engine guys had to go back to the jet engine shop. They couldn't send me back as I was in Okinawa. Separated in Sept 1962.

I had reinforcing springs put on my 1961 Rambler there in 1966 in preparation to overload my car and head to California.

Hi,
I lived here in the 1960's when it was Glasgow Air Force Base. I just wanted to tell you "thank you" for the trip down memory lane.
DO you have any more pictures from St. marie that you could share?
Please advise, and thank you.

I can't believe this place is still around. I went to several parties while working at the base.
Not real pretty, but darn good pizza!!
