Spent about eight years there. There is a little park on one side of the city lake (formerly a city water reservoir) named for Hoyt. Unusual name. Kids can pull 12 inch fish out of that lake, if they can get past the geese and ducks - though the recent bird flu issue has led the city to start scaring off the birds there. There are surprizingly few military folks on base - mostly aircrew students, served by a largely civilian staff. Brian Whatcott Altus OK During my short stay at Altus, they built the Atlas silos and closed them down. I was Pad Chief for the Cache site. At that time I lived in Hobart, drove all the way to the base changed my car for an AF vehicle and drove all the way to the site. It was still dark when I left home in the morning at Hobart and dark again in the evening when I returned home. Seven days a week many times, little time off. Certainly was glad when they let us convoy that missile to San Bernardino. We used to go up to Lake Altus and water ski and fish, while they were building the sites and after they shut them down. -- BILL P. & DOG |

Hmmm... sounds a lot like Ethanol from corn..... except on a good day,
you may actually get 10% net energy output from the ethanol... probably -25 from the battery system My Name Is Nobody wrote: dh@. wrote in message ... Someone told me it's possible to charge an inverter system's batteries using a battery charger plugged into the inverter that's being run by the batteries you want to charge. Is there any truth to that, and if so, how does it work? Yes you will find the plans for that in your local public library in the perpetual motion machine section. |

The base commander or maybe missile squadron commander from that era Dick Maffrey, retired here, and died 2 or 3 years ago. Entrepreneurial. He set up a motel, a feeder air line, a bus transport outfit, he built his house down the road from mine with his own hands along with his wife and kids, and very nice it is. His wife is still live and kicking. I took a look at the silo north of the lake. It was half filled with water - the silo lid was welded shut etc. Kinda spooky. I think the Cache site that you mentioned, is on the road to Frederick, south of the Altus-Lawton main drag. Is that the one? The mueum here has a control console for one of the silos. Brian W |

Brian W Colonel T. Robert Hall Jr. was the Commander of the 577th SMS when I was there, and I was there for the full existence of the unit. Maffrey might have been Base CO I do not remember, I remember Col Kise was wing co for a while. Cache site was close to the Lawton, we had another site at Frederick. http://www.577sms.com/ But we did have some folks that made good. http://www.af.mil/bios/bio.asp?bioID=7184 http://www.af.mil/bios/bio.asp?bioID=4615 There were several more. -- BILL P. & DOG |

"Capt. JG" wrote in message snip You keep a woman's mouth in your basement????? Hail the discovered of the only true perpetual motion machine. Welcome. Like Hell... They are expensive things to run. The harware alone includes Diamonds, Rubies, Prada etc. The software requires constant updating and reassurance. And If you try to upgrade to a newer model and run two at once the first one will refuse to network with the newer model. DP |
