Brend, the last stop I worked at we shot stuff almost everyday.
THAT was a fun place surprisingly called survivability.

I used to call on them in the late 80s / early 90s when the Reagan money was still flowing. Sky top, SNORT track, T-pad, Aircraft Survivability Range and Electronic Warfare Center were all customers. Wild place. I used to stay at the Bar-S Motel. Is it still there?

OldGuy

Gary the BarS is gone. Now we have Marriott and The Hiltons in a town where the Econo lodge was the most luxurious place.
I have worked at 3 of those places you named in my 25 years here.

OG I have very fond memories of my travels there. Beautiful country and great folks. I'd pass through the front gate and travel like 15 miles into the desert to my 1st appointment. I'd get out of my car and hear a distant "ka-BOOOM" come rolling through the hills. Very interesting and important work that you folks do.

I just love working here and having these Test Pilots to work with. They are like the astronauts
of the 50's. They have the right stuff
