Default Re: Eielson AFB

Coldest I've ever seen is Eileson in the winter. Minot AFB, ND is bad but nowhere in the same league as Eileson. I don't remember exactly, but I am sure it was -50 range. Nothing I can even compare it too and you just have to feel it - brutal. And I like the cold. My brother was stationed at Elmendorf and I've been there many times. I would got to Elmendorf (Anchorage) in a minute. Eileson - would have some trouble with the romoteness and the deep winter temps. We used to have Thule Greenland and Kef (Keflavik, Iceland). Never made either of those, but they were pretty legendary.
