...I didn't get out to check Lake Newman, sorry.<br />I was sad to see what has befallen Cecil as well. I got there in 93 after being a Tomcat guy at Pax, went through NAMTRA and on to the IWT shop at VFA-136. Maybe we knew some of the same people.<br />82 and 86 both went to MCAS Beaufort SC. I was at Strike Fighter Wing for the move, so I was pretty involved with getting everyone out of Cecil and settled at Oceana.<br />Thanks for dropping by!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308171394825291900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35333449.post-80308841507648506972011-02-11T22:52:05.517-05:002011-02-11T22:52:05.517-05:00Larry, Thank you very much for posting these photo...Larry, Thank you very much for posting these photos. I was stationed out of Cecil Fld. for 16 years. I went from VA-82 to AIMD to VFA-86 to NAMTRA to VFA-136. It goes without saying that I LOVED this base. The photos of Lake Fretwell make me sad. Back in my day that was a fantastic lake for bass fishing. I spent so much time at that lake even many times going there from the hangar to fish during lunch break. I caught more bass than I could count out of that lake over the years always unhooking and returning them unharmed to the water. Man, it's sad to see what it has turned into. What about Lake Newman? Did you get over by there to check it out as well? Thank you, mystic.rhythms@live.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
