I was stationed there from around mid to late March 85 through April 88. Corrosion Control Specialist was my given career picked for me by the Air Force. Put a LOT of paint on the B-52's and KC-135's stationed there. Even had a special job of completely painting one of the old McDonnell F-101 Voodoo that still sets on display on the base by an old model B-52. Was told that the last normal seasonal snow fall by the people stationed on the base was right around St. Patrick's day. The St. Patrick's day snow storm of 86 dropped 2-3 inches shy of 3 feet of snow over that weekend! A LOT of good memories of that place that I miss...

I reported there in January of 1973. Don't remember the snow conditions at that time. Maybe I just missed it? From 73 to 74, though, we had a lot of snow. GREAT for using my snow mobile that just about EVERYONE had! I was told that it had snowed at K.I. in EVERY MONTH except August. True or not true. I don't know! I sure miss that base and that area. I went back in 2021 for quick "look/see". Not the same OBVIOUSLY!

1972, Obbie Lee Cobbs USAF, was stationed at KI Sawyer AFB and picked up girl named Beatrice Whitlock who was a high school classmate of mine in Munising. He attempted to rape Beatrice and she fled from his vehicle. Cobbs chased her into the woods and beat her to death. He then tossed her in front of his car and ran over her getting stuck in the ditch with her head wrenched up under the wheel well. Cobb's story to the Munising police was that he picked her up hitchhiking in Marquette and rolled the vehicle and she fell out of the car. He was charged with murder and pled guilty to 2nd degree homicide and was released from prison after serving just 3 years. The USAF never apologized to anyone in the community for the loss/suffering. Unacceptable...

God, I wish this video had sounds and smells. The pungent smell of the flight line and the sound of a taxiing 106 is etched on my brain. And I miss hearing the barely audible click and buzz that preceded the playing of retreat at 5pm. You had 3 seconds to get into a building or be forced to stand there saluting the flag for 30 seconds. (We would always turn and salute the "Someplace Special" sign on the water tower instead.) I miss it and I don't.
