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.
La Base Aérea de Torrejón (código IATA: TOJ, código OACI: LETO) es uno de los principales aeropuertos militares españoles cerca de Madrid. Fue usada, conjuntamente con el Ejército de Aire, por la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos (USAF) hasta 1992. Tras haber sido utilizado conjuntamente por el Ejército del Aire de España y AENA, esta última para la aviación ejecutiva, actualmente dichas operaciones han sido trasladadas al Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas.
Torrejón Air Base (IATA: TOJ, ICAO: LETO) (Base Aérea de Torrejón de Ardoz) is both a major Spanish Air Force base and the collocated Madrid–Torrejón Airport, a secondary civilian airport for the city and metropolitan area of Madrid.
La base aérienne de Torrejón (code AITA : TOJ • code OACI : LETO) est un aéroport militaire et civil (Aéroport de Madrid-Torrejón) en Espagne situé dans la périphérie de Madrid.
La base aerea di Torrejon era un aeroporto militare situato in Spagna gestito dalla United States Air Force. La base di Torrejon fu chiusa nel 1996 e l'aeroporto venne riconvertito per scopi civili. Attualmente lo scalo è noto come aeroporto di Madrid-Torrejón, stante la vicinanza alla città di Madrid. La base aerea di Torrejon era una delle basi aeree principali in Europa centro-meridionale assieme alle basi aeree di Aviano in Italia e quella di Incirlik in Turchia. Di fatto la base ha cessato di fungere da avamposto per la USAF già a partire dal 21 maggio 1992, quando gli aeromobili di stanza furono trasferiti altrove.
A before and after moc. Originally the base belonged to the Republic, but after being overrun by droids, it was abandoned. Many years later, the Rebels scavenged the base.

The main base paper was copied from a piece of scrapbook paper. I had to scan and re-print my piece of paper because I didn't have enough sheets to make the 4x4 grid=16 sheets of paper. These print out at about 8x8- making the inner base about 32 inches square. I overwrote a prayer onto this base using a letter stencil and some silver metallic ink. I sort of adapted the common prayer said at funerals, the one with the line that says "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust."

During a proficiency exercise, Staff Sgt. Amanda Kudlas installs a transmission cable to a high-powered amplifier of the AN\USC-60A Flyaway Tri-band (FT) Satellite antenna next to one of two attached 3-in-1 Expandable Shelters. Behind her Tech. Sgt. Alexander Dale organizes RF cables. They are with the 15th Air Mobility Operations Squadron at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. on April 16, 2009. The 15th Expeditionary Mobility Task Force relies on cross-utilization to keep the human footprint small and setup as fast as 30-minutes to have the shelter and all support functions running with secure and non-secure satellite communication suites and network computer workstations for initial leadership to begin operations. This extends existing Air Mobility Command infrastructure, through both in-place employment and rapid forward deployment capabilities such as the DACE: Cafe-style Communications Operations which ensures precision, reliability of a Contingency Response Wing? worldwide mission. With on-call capabilities and configured with state-of-the art equipment such as the Deployable Air Mobility Division Communications Element DACE These DACE packages, operated by just five Airmen, provide deployed Airmen satellite capability, land mobile, HF and UHF/VHF radios. Because cross utilization occurs throughout the CRWs their footprint at forward locations is reduced to 1/10 of the personnel and fewer AFSCs are needed than a decade ago. CRWs are a product of 40 years of TALCE experience and lessons learned from OEF / OIF. (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)

Aphrodisias lies in southwestern Turkey, in the fertile valley of the Dandalas River, a tributary of the Meander, about 150 kilometres east (inland) of the Aegean Sea. It is situated at the base of the Babadag mountain range, at 500 m above sea level. The city was the capital of the ancient Roman province of Caria.
The ancient city of Aphrodisias is one of the most important archaeological sites of the Greek and Roman periods in Turkey. Famous in antiquity for its sanctuary of Aphrodite, the city's patron goddess, Aphrodisias enjoyed a long and prosperous existence from the second century B.C. through the sixth century A.D. Today, many of the city's ancient monuments remain standing, and excavations have unearthed numerous fine marble statues and other artifacts. The great beauty and extraordinary preservation of this site combine to bring the civic culture of the Greco-Roman world vividly to life.
Aphrodisias was founded on the site of an ancient local sanctuary in the second century B.C., according to the date of the earliest coins and inscriptions found in the site. In the late first century B.C., the city came under the personal protection of the Roman emperor Augustus, and a long period of growth and good fortune ensued. The first several centuries A.D. were especially prosperous, and most of the surviving buildings of the city date to this period. In the fourth century, Aphrodisias became the capital of the Roman province of Caria. The cosmopolitan character of the age is demonstrated by the presence in this city of an active Jewish community, attested in a famous inscription listing benefactors of the local Synagogue.
The first systematic excavations at the site were begun in 1961 under the aegis of New York University, and yielded many remains of the city's central monuments. In addition to the Temple of Aphrodite, major areas of investigation included the Bouleuterion or Council House, and the Sebasteion. The Sebasteion, a religious sanctuary dedicated to Aphrodite and the Roman emperors, is one of the most remarkable discoveries of Roman archaeology. It is one of the best-preserved examples of a Roman imperial cult complex, and is decorated with an extraordinary series of life-size marble reliefs (originally almost 200), which depict Roman emperors and imperial family members from ca. A.D. 20 to 60, as well as, personifications of the subject peoples of the Roman empire, and mythological heroes and gods. The reliefs provide an unparalleled insight into how Roman imperial power was understood from a local perspective. Other important public buildings are the Theatre, the Hadrianic Baths, and the Stadium; the latter seated 30,000 people, and is the best-preserved of all ancient stadiums. The buildings of the site are remarkable not only for the preservation of their architecture, but also for the many inscriptions, statues, reliefs, and other objects associated with them.
Aphrodisias is well-known for its fine sculpture. Good marble quarries are located only a few kilometres away from the city, and by the Late Hellenistic period, a strong local tradition of marble sculpture had already taken root. In later generations, Aphrodisian sculptors are known to have worked abroad on prestigious commissions, for example, at Hadrian's villa at Tivoli. The sculpture from the site is characterized by virtuosity and variety. Excavation has uncovered statues of, for example, gods, heroes, emperors, orators, philosophers, and boxers, as well as a great range of ornamental and figured relief. The finds range from grave reliefs of the second century B.C. to statues of the last Roman governors of the sixth century A.D. Many sculptures from the site already occupy key positions in the history of ancient art.
The studies for a site management plan were started according to a protocol between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Geyre Foundation dated to 08.11.2007.

Swinton Lions move the ball from the base of a scrum during a 30-10 defeat by Featherstone Rovers in rugby league's Kingstone Press Championship. It was Lions' first game at their new home, Heywood Road, the ground of rugby union's Sale FC. Swinton trailed 30-0 before adding some respectability to the score with two late tries. Lions, nomadic since 1992 when they sold their iconic Station Road ground, hope to build a stadium of their own at Agecroft within three years. The 2016 season marks Swinton's 150th anniversary.

Kickoff rally on Boston Common in support of the Massachusetts Safe Communities Act which would protect all state residents by making sure tax dollars are not used to enforce federal immigration law. This new version of the Trust Act is sponsored by Massachusetts State Senator Jamie Eldridge (SD.1596) and State Representative Juana MatÃas (HD.3052). The bill would include:
No state support for Muslim registry. Prohibits access to information in state databases for use in any federal registry program based on national origin, religion or other protected characteristics.
Ensures Basic Due Process Rights for people detained in state and local facilities for civil immigration violations. Requires informing detainees that they have the right to decline an interview with ICE agents, and to have their own attorney present (at their own expense) if they so choose.
Use police resources to fight crime, not separate families. Ensures that state, local and campus police don’t participate in immigration enforcement activities, including inquiries, investigations, raids, arrests or detentions that are based solely on immigration status.
Prohibits agreements with DHS that deputize local officers as immigration agents, including county officers in Bristol and Plymouth sheriff's departments.
