I was there from October 1992 to March 1993. Refueling Vehicle Mechanic Tech school. Me and my boy got lucky with standby seats out of Chicago before the airport got shut down for days... Great video.

Makes me sad to see all these AFB closed. We had 3 here in Michigan...all gone. I went to school with the military kids & heard Chanute mentioned all the time. So many of these bases from the Cold War ..gone. Such a waste. Sad remembering what they looked like back in the day & what most look like now.

I was stationed there from 1977-1981. The most westerly hanger was a sports arena during that time. Tennis courts, racquetball courts, basketball court (old Bulls court donation), and an indoor track as well. I managed it as a Recreation Specialist and lived across the flight line in base housing. Those were the days.

I was in the last Tech School to graduate there. It was sad seeing this video because that was a beautiful A.F base. Crazy windy and cold. White Hall is the biggest building I have ever seen in person. Met some great people there. Got my 1st tattoo at Breezy's outside the base in Rantoul. Corky's was the biggest transportation service in the area that would take us into the city to party...
