In 1992 an aimless young man decided to serve his country and
joined the Air National Guard. To complete his training, he was sent to
venerable Chanute Air Force Base in the flats of Illinois to learn how to turn
wrenches on jet engines. It was a place brimming with history, a place he soon
grew to love.
Soon thereafter, Chanute closed its doors forever, becoming a
modern ruin in the years that followed, taking the young man's heart with it.
This humorous, witty and occasionally ribald memoir details
the experience of one of the last Airmen to pass through the hallowed gates of
Chanute Air Force Base, and how the experience haunts him to this very day.
--Like biblical Jericho, all the fences were taken down.
--the author seeing Chanute AFB in ruins for the first time.
