I was here only once years ago: I forgot that one can drive willy-nilly all over the old ramps, runways, and taxiways. Cool!!
But beware: the posted speed limit is 25mph, and yes, "Smokey" is hiding out, ready to bust you. But I'm in no big hurry, and what's the fun of rolling fast down a runway if you're not going to fly?
Well, now... they must've known I was coming- I believe those are some unloved, unwanted old P&W "corncobs" over there. I know this was nobody's favorite engine, but it's sad to see them abandoned like this, out in the weather. And quite a surprise: it's not like there's a museum here or anything.
This was taken thru a fence- I can only wonder what else might be in that hangar...
When I got out of the car to take that last pic, I thought I heard someone playing the drums. Very odd. I followed the sound, and behind a patch of brush and small trees, I discovered...
What do blimps have to do with drums? Observe. I really should have gone over and talked to this guy, but he was busy practicing, and it sounded like he needed it...
Another view of the Fuji blimp moored to its mobile tower...
Very strange and wonderful to see a cricket match and a drum-playing blimp-wrangler (?) here... to think I might've just driven straight home and missed it all!
