We attended with tour with my parents. My dad was a colonel in the airforce. we found the tour very interesting and enjoyable. We also really enjoyed the guest speaker portion of the tour. He was fascinating.

It means the world to know that you and especially your father enjoyed this tour. I like to think of our guest speaker who was the last man to leave the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base when it closed in 1993, and who flew the A-10 in Desert Storm which is on static display in Warbird Park, as a living legend as well as being an engaging and informative presenter. It was an honor to have you aboard and I look forward to seeing you on the other tours. Thank you.

The guest speaker, retired Ltd. Colonel Barton shared his experiences about the Myrtle Beach air base. The tour guide was also excellent and shared the history of the base.
