And Royal Air Force. They had em out in Kuwait when I was there.
Also about the hangars. Yes there are hangars there, and a normal ATC tower. But I can guarantee you that this was the middle of nowhere. It's a tiny ARMY base called YPG. That's all that is there. The population of that base is prolly about 200. And we weren't even on the base really, we were just at their lil airfield. The base is where the ARMY jump school trains. So there are a couple hangars for their little prop airplanes. The base has a grocery store, a qwikemart thing, and one tiny dinner called the Cactus Cafe. That's it. And that was all about 15 minutes away from where we were. To me, that is the middle of nowhere. No showers, no bathrooms (they supplied us with portajohns tho!!), MRE's for food, sleep on a cot on a dirt floor, had a few sandstorms out there, it just isn't a whole lotta fun. But it was the last one I'll ever have to go on!!! YEAH OK WHAT!!!!
