Yep there was at least one big track in there when I was there. Slot
cars was big at that time. I can't remember to many of the details.
It's been to long.

Probably. It's sad that it was shut down. I've wondered what
happened to all the display planes they had scattered around the base.
I've got a bunch of pictures around here somewhere of many of them.
I'd heard that they'd shut down Carswell in Ft Worth (I was
stationed there when I got out) as well but looking on Google earth a
short while back showed it to still have some planes on it. I don't
know anything about the Hahn in Germany where I spent most of my time
while I was in the Air Force.
