San Angelo, TX 2540a

My reason for visiting San Angelo was that I had been stationed at Goodfellow Air Force Base in the late 60's and was curious about what had happened to the base and the town. I had heard some years back that it was one of the bases scheduled to be closed, so I expected an abandoned base and a town suffering from that economic loss. I was wrong on both counts.

Though the base had been scheduled to be closed, the decision to close was revoked and in fact a number of operations were moved there. (See additional comments in adjacent photos).
