Hi Nathan,

It started out as a WWII bomber training base, and has come a long way.  I 
started flight training there in 1957, and flew from there for 35 years, 
before the addition of mechanical valves to my heart made it almost 
impossible to obtain a medical certificate.  It handles a lot of business 
aircraft, which are important to the local economy.

Yes, the lens is a joy to use.
