The wing photos showing all the tape remind me of all the patches on the carrier based planes in the 60's in SEA. No time to replace sections. Slap some tape over the holes and put it back in service.

The original start carts were built by a auto performance speed shop using current Nail Head Buick motors with no mufflers, hence the base being woke up with the Buicks. Chevy 454s were used later and then some kind of air starter was developed. I like telling the car show Buick guys about them.

Last week I saw multiple odd named flights of 4 engine jets with no destination out of Mildenhall and Crete flying patterns that were probably NATO EC-135s being refueled air to air. USAF flight never show.
