Remains of shelter A409 (TABVEE area) after demolishing. By order of The Dutch department of Defense a demolition firm started Summer 2009 to demolish buildings at the former Camp New Amsterdam. Shelter A409 and A410 were the first ones that met the wrecking ball. The shelters had to make way for the new fence that parts the "new" military terrain at former CNA and the County part of the base. The military terrain runs from the south side of the runway to the Avionics bunker were it connects to the current fence. Thanks to
T. Janssen.

Remains of the ZULU alert facility after the August 9, 1966 fire. An aircraft caught fire. The cause of the fire was discovered to be the failure of the air starter drive gear, which broke in two pieces and came through the side of the aircraft. Alert building and aircraft (56-1029) lost to flames. Five airmen were awarded the Airman's medal for saving the pilots and the other D-Dagger from the fire. Thanks to the
Nationaal Archief.

CNA buildings. The cement building on the right in the picture was the hardened operations center. This would have been the US command center under hostile conditions. Thanks to former Wolfhounds member

SAHS "Forbidden wing", a whole part of the school had fallen into disrepair. The wing also developed a rodent problem, and, most of all, some students saw it as a place for mischief. A place to smoke or make out. As a result Dr. Ristow periodically had to walk through and monitor the hall as a deterrent. Thanks to Wolfhounds brat
Rich Ristow.
One of the many murals that was painted in base buildings. Thanks to former Wolfhounds member
