West Flight Line Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 10 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the Reviewer Revan.

Geocache Description:

This oversized ammo container used to be a challenging multi by the same name. Since this multi got no visits for in over 18 months, I archived that cache and ressurrected it as a much more accessable traditional. This new cache can almost be considered a park and grab near the Loop 1604/FM 78 Park and Ride lot.

Randolph Field has been around since August 1928. In those early aviation years, Army Air Corps installations did not have runways, but large open fields from which the aircraft took off and landed. Randolph Field was unique in that it had three large fields surrounding the hangers and other structures of the base. The West, South and East fields were each about one half mile wide and two miles long which permitted aircraft to take off and land into the wind no matter what direction the wind was blowing. At the edge of these fields were large concrete areas called flight lines where the aircraft were parked and long rows of hangers were situated. From just east of GZ, you can still see the vast expanse of West Field including West Flight Line which is still operational today with the T-6 Texan II aircraft of the 559 FTS Billygoats.
