    It's a SIGINT collection site at Elmendorf AFB, Anchorage, Alaska

    That is crazy. I have driven around that site when on the base but had no clue what it was as pictured and posted in the aerial view.

    Here is some history:

    I am curious if it still stands since being decommissioned in 2016 after 50 years of service.

    I can't look at that without thinking there is going to be an accompanying CAPTCHA message asking me to click on the photo(s) showing crosswalks.

    You truly do think outside of the box :D

    Yay, Friday has arrived.

    For this Friday's posting here are some photos I took Thursday afternoon from my office balcony as I captured Air Force One headed toward Koea and Japan. (The President should be arriving in Korea as I post this.)

    And here is the President's plane as it approaches Mount Denali (visible as a snow capped mountain on the horizon. It was impressive to see how much altitude the pilot could gain in a short period of time as Air Force One shot upward to avoid being an easy target.

    Pictured here below is Air Force One's back-up plane as it followed the President's departure:
