I love history.. especially when it is close to home..

I always knew about Benbrook Field in Fort Wort, living for a bit in Benbrook. Had no clue as to how big the facility was..



There are still remnants of the field in the area, concrete slabs remain in what are now people's backyards..

Having grown up on Air Force bases, I could have spent all day there looking at the historical pictures.

Cool site.
