Ha.ha...again its a small world. When I was a teenager, a friend who raced mx, invited us over to stay in his house inside the base. At night we went out to the strip. Man, what an experience! All the bars with the ......

But they had a nice flat track oval inside the base where we had fun.

I've done close to 170MPH on that very runway. Of course, I was in an MD11 at the time. But still...

OH wow! that was at the old NAS Cubi Pt. You think your dated, try 1971-3. I flew in and out of there when I was in the Navy. That place has really changed. But the runway looks the same. I see the ATC facility hasn't changed and I can see where the Enlisted barracks and the "O" club use to be. I remember taking a taxi from the old Carrier pier to the gate and across the bridge to Olongapoo drank a few San Migils in that Town years and years ago.

Visited the area many times while onboard the KITTY HAWK in the early eighties
