Driving on RAF Woodbridge

I placed a camcorder with a fisheye lens on a tripod in my Dodge Caravan, straped it down, and drove around RAF Woodbridge where I lived.

What year was this?

Shot it in the spring of 1992, the last year I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters.

Thanks for posting! At 3:58 you can see the green hanger on the left. That was where our HC-130s were maintained! Just before the hanger was the life support and weapons buildings. Also, you made reference to the post office early in the video but failed to mention the Class 6 building! That was where we purchased all of our beer and liquor! :)

Hey I love Sonny Landreth's "Back to Bayou Teche" as background music. It's perfect for this video and I'm guessing totally co-incidental.

Rock on, Sonny.

Hey, I was stationed at Woodbridge from Sept. 1988-1991...this really brings back some memories for me...I worked in the last building/hangar on the left as the video ended! I was so glad to see that building again...I went back there in 1997 and 2000 but they had it all gated off and I wasn't able to get through. I worked as a back-shop hydraulic troop in the same place where the Fuel shop was...great video and great memories! Thanks! I am still in the AF in by the way...22 years! Mike

That was great. I was stationed there from 1962-65 and the drive along the flight line brought back old memories, although I worked a ways past where you turned around ... crew chief on F-101.

I was in the 81st Supply, from Jan '89 to Aug '92 - do you remember Capt Mcbride?

Where in Supply did you work?

I started in Inventory, then Doc Control, then EMSU, then finally RAMS before I PCS'ed to Tyndall...

It was fun seeing my old office as you turned around in the car park of the ATC tower! I spent many hours on the second floor (or is it First Floor?? ;-) and catwalk of that building, gazing at the clouds and getting paid for it! :-D Spent quite a bit of time hanging out in the tower cab with the ATC guys during some of the easy, boring shifts...
