Stayed at the red Fox Inn maybe a dozen times, one time I rode with some fellows that were stationed there in the 80s, they had some interesting stories, supposedly that Air Force Base was one of the closest to the Soviet union if you flew up and over the Arctic Circle, they told me there would be B-52’s that would fly up and go to the Arctic Circle on 24 hour missions being refueled in flight waiting for the go ahead from the president to drop the nukes at the Soviet Union if it got to that, kind of some scary stuff if you ask me, when the SALT and SALT 2 treaties were enacted and the Soviet Union disbanded, they weren’t such a threat to us and eventually the base was closed, in the tailwinds restaurant they had an interesting display showing info and photos of the base in action, in it’s hay day there were supposedly thousands of people involved in running that base
