The local AFB in Oklahoma City area is Tinker, AFB. They refurbish lots of aircraft there, even the B-52. Back in the good ol days we were allowed to autocross on a ramp and it was always great. Like an all day air show. They opened up one of the repair hangars for us to have access to the bathrooms. I still remember the shock of walking into one of the hangars and a B-52 was stripped to the aluminum airframe. All the electronics and other systems had been removed and they were checking every inch for cracks or corrosion. It is astonishing they could ever get it back together better than new, but that is their job.

That area where e autocrossed because super high security when they started refurbishing the F-117A Nighthawk. Their engines were super secret and one of the guys in the club that worked out there said if someone was just walking around on that ramp they would be face down on the concrete, and dogs would be ready to chew you up if you did not comply with all the orders for the armed guards. I still miss that autocross area.
