Off of a local CR you'll have a great view of the B-1s and C-130s. Dyess AFB is home to the 7th Bomb Wing and 317th Airlift Wing.
Dyess Air Force Base is named in honor of Texas native Lieutenant Colonel William Dyess (August 9, 1916 – December 22, 1943). He was captured after the Allied loss at the Battle of Bataan and endured the subsequent Bataan Death March. After a year in captivity, Dyess escaped and spent three months on the run before being evacuated from the Philippines by a U.S. submarine.
Promoted to Lieutenant Colonel Dyess was assigned to fly P-38 Lightnings in preparation for a return to combat. On December 22, 1943, his aircraft lost an engine caused by a fire on take-off. Dyess had a chance to abandon his troubled aircraft, but was flying over a heavily populated area and did not want to be responsible for any civilian casualties. He remained in his P-38 and died while guiding it onto a vacant lot.
He is buried in Albany Cemetery in Albany, Texas.
BYOP. The nearby property owner is aware of it's placement. Look for the loan tree on the road fence line. You may need to reach over the fence to retrieve, just be mindful of the barbed wire.
Congratulations to DanaDEW, the Amigos, and friends on the FTF!!
