Worst TDY spot

[Vertigo]

#2 Earickson Naval Air Station (formerly known as Shemya AFB) - 100% truth: there is a pretty girl behind every tree...then you arrive and realize there no trees on the 4 sq mile island surrounded by the Bering Sea and the North Pacific. 50 knot sustained winds and zero visibility fog are relatively common.

I wentTDY to Shemya for a couple weeks... scariest landing I've ever been through. Once on ground though we had a pretty good time. Nothing to do after hours but booze it up, so we did. I think I'm still hungover from that trip... and that was 13 years ago.

I guess I'm think more of the Cold War days when the Cobra Ball was on alert 24/7...no booze...
