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 |
