I was stationed there for 3 1/2 years 1963-67 as an Aircrew Life Support Specialist with SAC 494th for a few years, then German AF and helicopter flight training and general aviation support. Don’t recognize anything in this video. Amazing makeover.

@Astronomical1 2 года назад

Thank you for this.. I haven’t been here in years.. it’s crazy how much this base has changed

@vertisjohnson219 Год назад

Ain't it though, can't recognize it at all.

@Z3CHYD Год назад

I went through tech school at Sheppard in 2013, I barely recognize it now! I was in the old 362 dorms, all the new dorms were either just built or being built at that time. I was one of the few guys in my class who had his car brought down by a friend, so I was quite popular on the weekends haha. Good times

@clydesuckfinger8068 10 месяцев назад

I went thru in 1983, my old MC-130P, 660223, is now a maintenance trainer there. Think I feel old?

@MichaelP-qo3kn Год назад

Spent two years there 93-95 as an instructor. Had some wild weather in that part of Texas. Thanks for the memories

@Astronomical1 Год назад

Dude I was there summer of 95 it was hot as hell ... I was medical tech school I think it was 383 sq

I told the wife once they had a pecker checker school there and she said what's that

@kennixox262 5 месяцев назад

I can concur about the weather.

@barryklinedinst6233 6 месяцев назад

I went through tech school there in 1982. It was 6 weeks I believe. Then on to Dover Afb. I spent the rest of my time in the USAF there. Great memories

@timelliott4117 Год назад

The airman's club served more beer than a lot of countries. I was lucky I was in class in the AM, and back in the dorm by the time it got too hot. The number of Jackrabbits was surreal.

@giles-df9yu 11 месяцев назад

Its all different, but I spent some good hours in the old airman club first time I ever drank a course beer was there. They didn't sell coors on the east coast then.

@davidbottles3035 Год назад

Should have seen this base in the 60’s, this base has changed so much each decade since then. Other than the flight line and street layout it is almost unrecognizable.

@MikeMcClelland-h3y 7 месяцев назад

I was there from Aug to Nov of 79. Nothing looks familiar. I do remember the Airmans club across the street from our barracks. Every morning we got in formation and marched to the hangar for training. The B-52 used to be kept there. I think there was a go-cart track right outside of the gate too. Long time ago.

@kennixox262 5 месяцев назад

Were there class rooms inside the hangers? Like a building built inside, if I recall from about the same era.

@brianjones6500 3 месяца назад

As an observer looking from the perspective of what I know to be true. Whomever built this Air Force Base had survivability in mind. Well done.

@paulpeck6076 Год назад

I was there in December 1986-February 1987 for Air Cargo school(60531). My dad was there in 1953 for Reciprocating engine mechanic(KB-29)

@josemoreno3334 Год назад

I was there in 1979-80. To be train as a telephone linesman . Went back in 1987 to learn how to splice fiber optic cable. That base sure changed a whole lot . I wonder if White Hall is still there.

@eelyeoj5799 10 месяцев назад

I was there in February 1991 for Crew Chief training on C-5. Brings back memories.

@danielmccord8556 6 месяцев назад

July - Aug 84. Air Cargo School 60531. Had a blast there but was a rough summer that year for heat. Enjoyed my short time there though.

@barryklinedinst6233 6 месяцев назад

I was there for 60531 in 82 . Loved the airmans club. 70 degrees one day sleet the next. Crazy weather but I love Texas

@280StJohnsPl 7 месяцев назад

I arrived at Sheppard in Nov. 1968 after completing Basic Training at Amarillo AFB......wow, so long ago I don't even remember what the base looked like. The only thing I remember is the red and white checkered water tower with the rotating green and white light on the top. :)

I grew up on air force bases in the USA and in Japan.

The F5 static display used to be an old Phantom...they wouldn't allow later the Eagle because she was too classified

Where crew chiefs are born

@waynehigden 7 месяцев назад

I was born as a crew chief there in 1967. Came from Basic @ Amarillo. Did the time until August 67. Made 43151A. Worked on 121s @ Otis and McClellan. Had a pilot back up a 121 because he over shot the nose point. Told him reverse his two inboards to back up the 2 foot overshot he did. Spent a year at TSN @ Saigon working on a 123 named”The White Whale”. Thanks for seeing my home for 16weeks many years ago.
