Lackland AFB... on the left, a B-52 (probably still loaded with all those beer cans we left in there), on the right - the (completely windowless) building where the Crypto school once was.
 
On the subject of imagery... this is the nursery vineyard at Schloss Nitrocellulose. Total coincidence that it looks like a flag... and I think I need to find 50 white flowers to put in the star field! That's me on the left planting St. Croix vines... Jeep on the right. Dot on right is son of one of the guys from the PD.... who is a workhorse helper here on the farm! Kid gives me hope for the future!

Google Earth just updated... and I never realized that my plowing had made such a great flag!

Cheers,

I use to teach in that building. It's been a long time but I think the front doors were glass. After you went through them, there was a check-in window to the right. After you walked past the check-in window, there were doors that were obviously windowless.

That was a great school. I had great commanders and supervisors. All of the crypto equipment that we trained on is now declassified. If you do a google search of that stuff, you'll see everything is out there for everyone to see how it works.

Nowadays, whenever someone asks me what I did, I tell them that I was a door gunner on the space shuttle.

English Electric Canberra is a British first-generation jet-powered medium bomber. It was developed by English Electric during the mid-to-late 1940s in response to a 1944 Air Ministry requirement for a successor to the wartime de Havilland Mosquito fast bomber.
That one is an Rhodesian Air Force version, I worked on the Australian Air Force version for many years. A very capable aircraft, ours saw much action in Vietnam.
