We were stationed here in the mid 60's. Loved digging tunnels from house to house in the snow! Anybody every fish at Ft. Peck? Used to see antelope grazing in the back yards. My mom hated it there! Sad to see it in this shape.
Nice video. I lived at Glasgow Air Force Base from 1963 through 1968, right over near the main gate. I attended both West Side and North Star Elementary schools (where my mother taught). Part of North Star School is inshambles...mother said that at some point, a bunch of folks were paid to come in and tear it down...they only succeeded in tearing it up. The drive-in was a great place to go as a child! Many memories from there! My email is jonathanhutson_76475@yahoo.com.
I was stationed at GAFB 1964-65 in Headquarters, Public Information Office. Boeing owns maintenance facilities/runway and access to those areas is limited. I've been back to base three times. Kinda like visiting a ghost town. Also worked at KLTZ radio downtown Glasgow. I have a video of base and town that I'll send to former GAFB personnel at no cost.
The old drive in was located on the way to Glassgow. Talk about a low end operation and this place comes to mind. On Saturday evenings they had skin flicks. Half the timne the picture was out of focus. Great seeing some of the old photos though. I was stationed there from 1961 to 1963.
I have explored this place, when I lived in St. Marie and found out VERY little of its past. They keep it well hidden, however, I did find out that after they shut it down in 1966, it was abandoned for over a decade until they attempted to make it into the Valley Medical Center. I have many photos of my UE work there. Send me a message if you want more info or photo copies. This place is amazing.
@Bllackguard666 I grew up at the Glasgow AFB and we left in 1977...we were some of the last people to leave. I'd love to have any photos you have of the base and the housing. I attended North Star Elementary School...I've heard that building is in shambles...I have many memories of this little community. My email address is debdodge1616@aol.com, please contact me if I can get some copies of pictures online that would be so awesome!!!!
This place was actually called Glasgow Air Force Base. Thanks for posting this video. I'm a big Air Force history buff and enjoy snooping around the old bases, whether in person or in videos such as this one. I lived for a short time at Opheim AFS, which was north of Glasgow AFB, in 1969 and I can remember seeing the tails of the B-52's from the highway. I was only 4 years old at the time, but that memory was very vivid.

I grew up 60 miles from this base and remember all the B-52s in the sky. It was common place to see them flying in the area.
