PYOTE, TX AAF REST AREA

[@unklemilty]

Rick, thank you for this review! I actually lived on the base at Pyote in the early 60's. My dad was in the USAF and we transferred from Bitburg, Germany to Pyote...a bit of a shock indeed. At the time we were there, I don't believe the base was active for flying operations, my Dad had something to do with GCI (Ground Controlled Intercept). I recall a pretty small cadre of USAF folks, with the BX and commissary as well as swimming pool...

There's some good videos on the history of Pyote. I always pass thru there on my way to/from Midland. Been on the base to fly my drone a few times. I can't imagine what it looked like during its heyday and as a storage base.
