I was at Sidi Slimane in 54 to 55. I was a teletype operator, worked in the com center, and was also in the weather room in the control tower. Some of the guys I was with were Arnold Bruce, Arthur Shaw. The hut we were in everyone had a nickname - Wino, Sugarfoot, Gabby, and Yo-Yo. Have lots of pictures from there. While I was there the locust were so thick you couldn't take a step without stepping on some. The Arabs ate them and said they were like a flying shrimp. Glad I came across this site. Went from Sidi to Kirtland in N.M. and on to Harmon AFB in New Foundland.

I was stationed at Sidi Slimane Air Base in 1951. We were mechanics and we built the base up. I came from McDill and spent one year at Sidi Slimane. We parked the B-36 with a "follow me" jeep. In fact, General Lemay paid us a visit while I was there. Then in 1954 I returned for 3 months. We came from Hunter AFB. Glad I found this site. Brings back some great memories.
