I remember the Bob Hope show. We flew for hours around the base while everyone at the base got to watch the show. He was a great patriot along with all the entertainers that were in vietnam.
The good part was we got to fire off a lot of ammo at nothing. Lots of fun anyway.

NOTICE:
After September 2026, I will no longer be hosting our entire website. This includes military news, the Silver Spur sites, nor our racing pages. After 29-years it will be time to close it all down. Be well. – Roger ‘Bear’ Young, Spur webmaster
