The relocated AFTN station in December, l971, across from the base chapel and next to Friendship Hwy looking west. The first floor of the hootch served as the admin offices and newsroom for the station. The second floor was for the staff. The radio studios were located in a Chase Manhattan trailer close to the base pool.
The area between the TV van and the hootch served as an outside stage. Above photo looking east w/our laundry on the clothes line and Friendship Hwy just across the fence. And just to the north of the trailer was the base chapel. |
