Rattlesnake Bomber Base

Day 4, 2013 road trip, west Texas. This was the Rattlesnake Bomber Base, a training facility for World War II pilots. Eventually the facility was closed and abandoned. It was used for the hanger where Judd Nelson is going to skydive in the film "Fandango".

The base area has been used for a school and a prison in the last 20-30 years but I believe is currently completely abandoned. However there really isn't anyway to access the area of the former hangers. They can be seen somewhat, what is left of them, from Interstate 20, like some massive ruins off in the distance.
