Did You Know There was an Airport Named After Batman?

During Desert Storm/Northern Watch we deployed to Incirlik AB, Turkey.  Incirlik was about an hour and half flight from the Iraq border for our MH-53 helicopters so they were sent to Batman AB, Turkey.


I don't know where Batman spent Bruce Wayne's money but it sure wasn't on his airbase.  Our helicopter aircrews spent the entire war sitting around this hole in the bottom of Turkey waiting for the big mission our General was saving us for.  Never came!


So... if you are given a choice between whirling dervishes and Batman... go with the whirling dudes!
