I was there from '66 to '68 & worked for civilians at the power plant...attached to the 5010th Civil Engineering Sq. They treated me like family & invited me to their homes for great dinners! Will never forget the cold (-59 degrees), snow & "Northern Lights".
my dad is in the airforce and i lived on eielson. went to school there. it was great. i moved out here to PA 8 years ago. ill be back some day. i hate life out here and ive been to a few states on my own since i was 18 and no place compares. my dad builds bombs and missiles for the a10 and f16. good video though. any one want to help me get back up there lol? look me up on facebook. JAMES DARROW maybe i even know some one.
My family was stationed at Eielson '75-'78 and I went to Anderson Elementary School. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Went back for the first time in 30+ years to visit, guided by a Guardsman, and retraced my steps from our housing to the school. Great memories!
my family and i were at Eielson from 05-09 and those were by far the BEST 4 years of our life! we are at Nellis now (from one extreme to the next for sure!!) and we are dying to go back! definitely want to retire up in Alaska. its a completely different world up there and i cant wait to return!
Beautiful video -- I've watched it many times and it doesn't get old. Eielson '75-'78... stationed there with dad's assignment
