[johnnyghee]

my father was a military policeman in the panama canal zone and met my mother there. they were married for over 50 years before he passed away. i was researching an acronym (CAIRC) on one of his old badges and found out it stood for Carribean Air Command, at the albrook base. thanks for the video.

[mckln]

@johnnyghee No worries; I find the CAIRC acronym curious because I haven't come across this term both in the US and in Panama; perhaps, the term was before my time :)

I use to like on Albrook when I was in 10th and 11ht grade near the back gate right across the street frin a gig Playground. MAN I miss it. I loves living there... :~( I want to visit someday

[guitinker]

It doesn't look like it has changed much since I was there in '58-'60. Even the house numbers are the same. I'm not sure what street we lived on, but it was only 11 units away from this one, on a hill between the end of the runway and the BOQ.

[wormpiano]

hope he's not too mad when they build a skyscraper in his back yard.

[mckln]

Is someone going to develop the airstrip? They've already built a nice mall; yet, a skyscraper seems a bit ambitious for Albrook in Panama City!

[wormpiano]

naw, not really. they do have a bunch of large apartments planned in the area, though. they're going to build up as many green areas as humanly possible. we're negative as hell about it, needless to say.

[mckln]

Wow, I didn't know there was so much demand to live in Albrook; it's always seemed like such a sleepy area.

[kassywassy13]

yeah, there already building them, The workers are pollutiing wohoo..

[leslielove]

i lived at 48 albrook st back from 1979 -1983

[badflamenco]

I was 24th Security Police on Howard/Albrook 1972-73 and loved the assignment. Remember Pizzeria Napoli, Gran Morrison, Ancon Inn, Golden Key, The Pub, Canal Zone College, Goofy Falls, all of it?? boy what a great duty sttion. too bad...

[mckln]

Yeah, Gran Morrison is the best; it's like the Panamanian Wal-Mart!

[VLombardi01]

I was there from 1976 to 1980. great place.

[marielfab]

Oh my old house!!!! Thanks so much for sending me the link. I loved living there :)

[VLombardi01]

what year were you in panama? I was there between 1976-89. I think the street that I lived on was called Evens but I'm not sure.

[Gvieto]

Nice video of Albrook AFS.

[MUSTANG408W]

It sucks that the military is gone from there now. The American dollar went a long way down there. I left in 1994 and would've expected to see the locals scavenge that area to once the treaty expired.

[ramh]

the treaty expire already on 1999, there is no more bases in Panama and no we did not scavenge anything the area is better than before.

[MUSTANG408W]

I think you misunderstood what I meant. I know the treaty expired. I had already left Panama prior to that. With the poverty stricken areas not far from the bases I would have expected the poor to strip the housing areas, but obviously not. I am glad to see and glad to hear that they didn't. I plan to go there sometime soon to visit and see how the bases turned out since then.

[Genjibunbun]
