| Way back in 1980...Howard Air Force Base was one of two U.S. Air Force facilities in the Panama Canal Zone; Albrook Air Force Station was the other. |
 |
 |
Howard AFB was the Headquarters of the US Southern Command and the 24th Composite Wing. |
| Stationed there was the C130, a cargo aircraft, and a few older fighter aircraft, such as the A7D and F4 Phantom aircraft. Transient aircraft (or those passing through) could be almost anything! |

 |
| One of the M-706 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC), all terrain vehicles. Also known as a "duck", it could even traverse waterways! |

The last group of folks I worked with before I left there... "C" (Charlie) Flight, Law Enforcement, in the 24th Security Police Squadron. |
