Oldie from the Past

This is Chanute Air Force Base. It is now a closed United States Air Force facility, located south of and adjacent to Rantoul, Illinois, about 130 miles (210 km) south of Chicago. Its primary mission throughout its existence was Air Force technical training. Chanute Field was established on 21 May 1917, being one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entry into World War I. The base was closed in 1993 and is currently being redeveloped for civilian uses. This base is about 17 miles from my home. Interesting history if you're interested.
