There are few Air Force Bases in great weather zones, now the navy is

Mitchell,

For your collection - deicing a B-36 at Goose Bay in January 1952 - the hard

Remember putting hydraulic fluid in the tie-downs so you could find them in
the snow and they wouldn't be so hard to chop loose...running the recips
through two minute oil dilutions before shutdown....Herman-Nelsons
everywhere except where you needed them right this minute...and the
poopy-suits!!!
