• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

HEY! That's YPG! Yuma Proving Grounds!
I lived in Yuma for 30 years, and drove to work through the middle of YPG every day, for at least half of it. The Yuma Aerostat site. A small site in the middle of YPG with a 2 mile no fly zone around it. Hit a wild horse on the way to work one morning on my motorcycle, and lost an eye to it. Couple of smart-alek Hornet drivers lost their wings (and their Top Gun tapes. Truth from their CO's mouth, I swear!) making strafing runs on our site at about 0230 one morning...Lucky they didn't lose a plane or two, not to mention our balloon.
The rest of my time in Yuma was at MCAS Yuma, before the Aerostat.
Anyway, I know that view :biggrin-new:
