We're at Rantoul National Aviation Center. The airport was established in 1993 after the closure of Chanute Air Force Base (which was established as Chanute Field in 1917). My dad was stationed here for Air Force maintainence training in 1966. Some of the aircraft on display were here in 1966. We had a nice Father's Day visit.

Right! Big radome on the belly and dorsal. Couldn't go inside. The planes are in bad shape.

The Connie in the background looks like the AWACS version. Did y'all get to crawl around inside?
