| Message | I was so glad to find this website.I was stationed at K.I. from '66 to '70.Crew chief on B52H 60-031.Before they started repainting them from white and silver I got my name and ground crew put on the side and was really proud of that.The winters were really cold and lots of snow but it was a great place to be.Anyone remember pizza at Rosies in Gwinn ? The Idle Hour just down the street ? I would like to get back there sometime but it sure wouldn't be the same.Spent lots of time on "The Pad " waiting for the horn to go off.Mido or Bravo you never knew.Cartridge starts and then topping off the tanks.Lots of fun.410th OMS.Would like to get a patch,don't have any of my old fatigues any more.If any of you were there with me it would be great to hear from you. |

| Message | I was stationed at K.I. from June '87 to June '90 as an Instruments Specialist with the 410th OMS, AMS, and FMS, before pcs'ing to RAF Mildenhall. I'm retired and living in Florida now, but I'd actually prefer some of those KI winters about now. I grew up in Michigan (GR area) so I prefer colder weather. My wife and I stopped at the base during a trip in '03. It was bittersweet, however, to see my old shop open and unlocked, and wasting away with about 1 1/2 inches of water throughout the darkened building. I'm very glad to hear that there's a group willing and able to keep the bases heritage alive. The next time I'm in Michigan I'll have to take a trip up there and check out the Museum. Some of my fondest memories are from when I was stationed at KI: camping, midnight bonfires on the Lake Superior beach, the view from Sugarloaf, and riding snowmobiles on and off the base. I was stationed a lot of places, but my heart has always been at KI. Thank you for keeping KI alive, and keep up the good work. |

| Message | Served in the 410th SPS from Jan.83 to Mar.85. Was sad to hear earlier the base had shut down then discovered it had been turned into a local airport and mueseum! Would like to hear from anyone in my squadron who may remember me. In case they may be reading this hello to Jim Hill, Chris Mayer, and another friend from the hospital unit Jerry Hunt. I miss my old friends there but not those Michigan winters, in those beat up trucks or walking the gap in the alert area. I now live in Georgia, where the winters are very mild. Hope to make it up there someday to see how the base looks. Does not sound good from some prior messages. Good memories I will always have though.  |

| Message | I was stationed at K.I. Sawyer from 1966 through 1970. I was assigned to the 410th FMS (AGE) and S/Sgt. Raymond Walker was my last ncoic. I just got a chance to go back and look at the base after all these years. I was there on July 7th, 2009 and was surprised and disappointed of all the buildings and equipment going to waste. Lots of memories of the men I worked with in the frigid temps and winds not counting the snow drifts. We dispatched trucks to carry maintenance crews to the flight line and delivered and picked up ground equipment from flight lines and alert areas. May God bless you all for your military time. I will never forget. |

| Message | After 17+ years, I've finally went back to K.I. Sawyer AFB. Man talk about a trip down memory lane. Took my two youngest children with me & showed them the entire base, including the back side of the alert area! (Woulda been shot iffin tried that 18 years ago!) The grand old place is sure run down & wow has it changed! Bout broke my heart to see it like that. They got a lumber operation where the WSA was & nuttin' on the old alert area. Moved the air traffic controller tower to the OTHER end of the runway. The hospital is an old boarded up building with asbestos warnings on it!!! Two of my kids were born there! Tried to find the old guardmount building, (was in the 410 SPS), but it seems to be gone. Wanted to visit the Heritage Museum but seems it wasn't open???? What's up with that? Anyways... still trying to connect with some of the folks I served with. 84 - 91 in the 410 SPS! Yall have a good July 4th! |
