Went to Austin Moto Fest this weekend. Didn't get pics from there and the event was 'okay' for a first time event. Afterwards, we decided to head back the long way and stopped by what is now the Bergstrom Airport Hilton. This used to be 12 Air Force HQ at Bergstrom AFB, known as "The Donut". My first duty station was 30ft under this building working for the 1882 Communications Squadron, which later became the 67th CS. Bergstrom closed in 1993 and the 67th Wing moved to Lackland AFB. My last 2 years in the AF, I was stationed back with the 67th Wing and retired from their and still work as a contractor for them today.... :)

I will say it is kind of sad to see what was the 67 Tactical Reconnaisance Wing, flying their F4s turn into the 67th Network Warfare Wing, flying their.. umm.. oh yeah.. not flying. Just computers, internet, etc..
