The other big American Air Force base on Okinawa was Naha, AFB. About 12 miles south down the coastline from Kadena. The base at Kadena was noted for
B-52 operations to SE Asia. Also, the SR71 and U2 programs were based out of Kadena. It was quite the sight to see back in the day. I worked 95% of the time at night and my office (AFSC 25251) (code no longer in use) was just below the top level of the Control Tower. I was a Weather Observation Technician.
