Amazing on a number of levels.

In 1972, I flew into Andrews as part of the 25th celebration. That was a party to remember and I have flashbacks every time I see a little black Phantom painted on something.

Don't know if it's still there, but was the "Rathskeller" on your itinerary during the trip?

It was on mine with any TDY to Andrews.

I'm allowed to tell you where I was in 72 - it was Lackland AFB, Texas. (with my friend, Tom Cabasos, RIP)
