During my 5 years in the Air Force, Thule was alwas the running joke "If you mess up they will send yo to Thule." That was 40 years ago and this is my first time ever seeing the base. I kindda see what they ment. It`s every more isolated than I thought.

I went TDY here in spring of '97. Only a few days tho while repairing a C-141 from McGuire. Wasn't much to do, but it provides a fun story to share with others. ✌️🖖

I know its cold af.there. what do they do with the vehicles? In Alaska, you plug in a block heater or keep it running.
@Audeamus312 жыл бұрын
Block heater. If it's below -13C/8F keep it running. All vehicles run JP8 instead of regular diesel in all vehicles due to its' extended low-temp resilience. Heater plug ins are disabled from around June-Sept.

You're the second person I've seen having knowledge of the temperature of a well digger's ass. The first is my father who's dealt with many a well digger as an excavator for 40+ years.
