Geocache Description:


At bases throughout the Air Force, air parks are used to display Air Force aircraft and commemorate significant events. The Scott Field Heritage Air Park, adjacent to Scott AFB, continues that long and honored tradition.  It was built to portray the history of Scott Air Force Base, the Air Mobility Command and the Airlift, Air Refueling and Aeromedical Evacuation missions.  Explore the park and solve this (I think) fairly simple puzzle to find a micro-sized container somewhere near the base.

I'm adding the "field puzzle" attribute because I don't THINK you can solve it without coming here.  Come visit the park (which also hosts a nice traditional TB cache), see some cool planes, and enjoy a bit of history.  Listed coordinates will take you to the parking area.   Open to the public (no base access necessary) and open from sunrise to sunset. Congrats to "The Griff" for being FTF!
