Site # 5 -- General Area -- random views.
There is not an order to these pictures. They are just entered at random.
These pictures are scanned from old slides and the quality may not be the best, but they will be worth the effort if they refresh some old good memories for some one. Click on the small pictures for a larger version. I hope they aren't too large for the people on phone service.

Do donkeys wear caps? Or just us Jackasses?

Returning to base after burying garbage in the sand..This was to prevent the Arabs from carrying it off and selling it in the market @ Mechra Bel Ksiri.

Our intercepts were made from Sidi Slimane AFB just south of us.
|
These were F-86 crews that were rotated to Morocco from Korea and they liked to buzz our Site.
|
Sometimes they got really close. Even close enough to kick up sand dust and roll up the tree leaves. All in a days work .
|
|
Late evening reading of stateside assignments was followed by "CHOW".
|
Waiting to hear the daily reading of new assignments.
|
Extension of the previous line.

Cook out over the hill from the living quarters. I believe this was in September of 1953.
|
Just before returning state-side. Going away party??
|
After we got stuffed, there was a drawing for prizes. This was paid for from profits at our PX. I received a B-4 bag which I still have and use on special ocassions.
