I see the Kadena Chicken thread is making rounds again. But that got me to thinking....

Any other USAF Urban Legends come to mind. Maybe some that aren't so Urban and not much of a Legend and more 'The Truth".

Aside from the Chicken:

1. The Liberty Bell is buried at the Air Force Academy.

2. Every Base has a golf course so that mass graves can be dug.

3. There are ghosts in the hangars of Kunsan.


Are there any more that you know of?
Press on and fight it out. :cheers:

The one about there being a match, gun, razor, bullet, etc. on top of the base flag pole, that's b.s.

It takes an act of Congress to demote a CMSgt.

How about that the USAF will never buy a STOVL aircraft because the pilots won't land anywhere without an O-club?

Oh, wait. That may not be an urban legend. :cheers:

Haven't heard that one but I have heard that there's a missile silo underneath Spirit Hill on the Terrazzo. Gums, did they have that legend while you were here too?

Cadets are equally as important as the people in the real military that have to salute them because they are investments in our future that we absolutely can not do without :lol:

Along with the Liberty Bell, there is a USED Mercury Space Capsule. Underneath (hint) the USAF Academy.

That would be buried beneath each flag pole.

At sheppard afb we followed telling the tale like everyone before us about the F-4 phantom on static.
To all the new airman coming to the 362nd the F-4 is a memorial to fallen pilots, you will salute when walking past it.

and the flag pole thing i've heard it both ways the goodies are in the top or the goodies are at the bottom.

when i was back at sheppard, i don't remember that one, but then again i don't remember the f-4 on a stick. The only one i remember was the thud on the main drag. But that was a few years ago.

Legend has it the the gun in buried beneath the flag pole, but everything else is in the "truck" which is the ball on top of the flag pole. By the way, it's all b.s.
