Geocache Description:

This cache is dedicated to the history of flight and its future.

Much of the site’s history has involved unrealized potential. The Navy established the first airport in the Burns Flat area in 1942 to train pilots during World War Two. (The outlines of the original runways at the site are still visible in overhead photos of the current airport.) After the war the naval air station was closed and temporarily turned into a civilian airport that was also used to dispose of thousands of surplus aircraft from the war. In 1954 the military returned, converting the site into an Air Force base and building the long runway to support B-52 bombers based there. Clinton-Sherman Air Force Base was closed at the end of 1969, although the military intermittently uses the airport to this day for training purposes, such as touch-and-go landings of tankers and cargo aircraft that are stationed at nearby Altus AFB. The base became the Clinton-Sherman Industrial Airpark, home to a limited amount of industrial and general aviation activity.

(Excerpts from www.thespacereview.com/article/157/1)

This is a themed cache based on aviation and the future of space flight. Any trades should be of an aviation nature: past, present or future.

The aircraft that you might see flying in the area are C-5’s, C-17’s and KC-135’s (the flying gas tanks – mid air refueling aircraft).

Credit for the hide method goes to Catch-22.
