Elmendorf AFB, Alaska

 

Leaving Travis AFB on one of these to head to Alaska

 

Early morning,Elmendorf AFB, the day of my departure after a one-night layover

 

The light was changing quickly and I was getting ready to walk back to the terminal, but couldn't pass this up.

 

On the way back to the terminal I enjoyed the F-22s noisily playing above. Once I got to the terminal, I signed in, got some coffee, and went outside to watch the aircraft.

 

 

 

The mountains made for a spectacular backdrop

 

No snow yet, but I've been there in deep snow before. For now, fall colors and sunshine ruled the short days

 

The old display in the terminal, around since long before my first visit there, at least a decade ago, moved, I think, but still intact

 

As were a number of beautiful paintings by a wildlife painter depicting the Alaskan wilderness

 

This (bear) print was signed by the artist in 1988
