I said 20 years ago, not over 35, when the draft was last active and people were ducking service hehehe.

I meant prior to the Clinton Administration's rampant de-militarization of our country. Before the closure of over 200 bases in the US alone (many of which had just undergone major overhauls and upgrades in the Reagan and Bush Sr. Administrations), "early outs", and the idling of thousands of aircraft like these...

It would be a cool place to poke around ust looking in the aircraft. Being on a military base though I am sure they would not have a sense of humor about that though.

As I said - they give tours, and Prima also has an aircraft museum making use of scrapped planes:
