Pleasant trips to park near the WWII Hanger #1 at DOW FIELD to watch General Aviation Traffic, and the constant activity of Transcient Aircraft coming and going from the Maine ANG Refueling Wing.
It is relaxing to dream back 66+ years ago and visualize the thousands of B-17, B-24 and other WWII aircraft that used Dow as their final USA jumping off point enroute to war. What is also neat is that the SWB CCKW can navigate the Dunkin Donuts Drive Thru on the way to the base. The late summer weather is ideal for Closed Cab CCKW activity.
A lot of good memories are associated with Dow from WWII thru present. I have witnessed WWII Airpower, the Post WWII aircraft stationed there, airshows, and even spent a few hours with General Chuck Yeager in my MB at an airshow not too many years ago.
