June 28th. We visited the Ernest Harmon Air Force Base in Stephenville. The base was built by the US, back in the 1950's, primarily to refuel B52 bombers that…
It was a cold, rainy day.
A display inside the terminal which is now for small commercial flights. The US sold the base to Canada in the 1960's for $1.00.
Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth Stayed in this building once.
This refueling air base was very important during the cold war.
There was a very cool little museum down in the basement of the officers building.
It was a very eclectic bunch of stuff.
We had a nice group lunch in the officers building.
After lunch Barb and I did Danny's trail hike along the coast. It was a 4 mile, out and back, hike.
Pretty yellow, I think pitcher plant flowers.
