Photographs of the following building (at same location) can be viewed later in this section.
I am assuming this photograph was an Official USAF photograph.  Angelo State had a large collection of base photographs on file so in Jan 2014 I acquired quite a few of the base and San Angelo areas.
Thank you to Jeff Kinlaw.  He offers the following comment to clarify the above photograph.  “The photo “Date Unknown” shows Texas Gov. Allan Shivers (center) greeting GAFB personnel on Feb 8, 1956, during a groundbreaking ceremony for an $8 million expansion program.”

I am wondering if this was an aerial photograph taken before 1975?
I received the following from Richard A. Haycook:
“Hi Terry
This photo (above) might have been dated as shown but it appears to show an area where I lived and trained.
I can’t be certain because the landscape there has changed but…to the right of the Motor Pool are the old wooden barracks — I lived in the “Rabbit Patch” which was across the street from the motor pool.  That was Dec63-May64 when I was at 292X2 school.  I recall the 6948th(?) mobile units staging there prior to a deployment.  The 4 rectangular buildings in front of  “common block training” would be where I went to classes…the guard shack is to the left of them.  My orderly room (6943rdSS) might be the brick building to the right of 407.  However that might have been a dorm for another squadron at the time. I vaguely remember it being a brick building but most of them at that time belonged to 202/203 trainees so I’m not entirely sure.”  To read more from Richard, please go to Remembrances and search for his last name, “Haycook”.
Official USAF Photograph (Mr. Allen Johnson)Date unknown – Building 407, the Airborne Maintenance and Linguist Training Facility. Today this area is a parking lot for the new Headquarters building (located now off camera on left).

 

Photographs provided by Terry Casey 2010 – These two murals were taken from Building 407.  These two murals (MiG and RC-135) now adorn Building 448.  They were originally painted on two portions of one of the walls in Building 407 by an A207X1 instructor. When Building 407 was razed, the walls were actually taken out in one piece and transferred to Building 448

Photograph provided by Ron CoughenourPhotographs taken between May to November 1967 Ron wrote:  “The interior picture is of my bunk bed and the other shows a buddy of mine who was reading.”
