As a flight reporter, I got to work with folks all over the ops building. Had lots of great working relationships as such. Great group of guys. Very mixed about Turkey, though. Learned a bit of Turkish through on-base classes. Turks could be very friendly. They could also be very prejudiced, even with learning some of their language. Still, I enjoyed numerous trips to Istanbul to both party and to take in the vast number of historical sites. The Blue Mosque remains the single most impressive building I have ever seen. Spend New Years 1968 turns 1969 at Uludag ski area. Another indelible memory is the incredible array of wool rugs in a store in Bursa (on the Uludag trip). Lots of great memories, but after spending my first 15 months overseas in Taipei, Taiwan, Karamursel AS was too much like being in the military. HA!!! Best Wishes. Hope all of you are well.

Went back to KAS in 2012. Rented a car in the \"Bul\" and took the car ferry to Yalova and then drove out past the base. Boy, things had changed since I was discharged there on 25 July 1969, including the armed guards with loaded M-16\'s at the gate.

We made many ‘Bul runs to Istanbul to run the Pavyon Night Clubs (I recall a club called the Gondola) and see the sights: the Blue Mosque, St. Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Taksim Square, the Grand Bazaar, the Bosphorus and other points of interest. We also made trips to Bursa, Ankara, Ephesus, and fishing trips to Sapanca Lake, east of Karamursel. -- Lots of fun and adventure!
