Officers' Quarters at Albrook Air Force Base, Panama

My uncle purchased a duplex at the former American military base at Albrook in Panama City, Panama.

The video was made four years ago and since then, my uncle has made his future retirement home one, incredible renovation project, which is still incomplete!

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.

@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.

[mckln]

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

[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]

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]

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

[leslielove]

[mckln]

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