Wearing the uniforms and carrying the equipment of both the Allied and Axis forces, they share their knowledge about the day-to-day lives of military men and women and the broader lessons of WWII. his year, the Hearne Municipal Airport is ready to welcome a WWII era B-25J T Mitchell Bomber, the Yellow Rose, and a Douglas C-47 Skytrain transport. These flying museums will be available for tours and will offer rides for purchase by the public to help support their preservation efforts. Since the flight path is over the Camp’s historic site, visitors at both venues will be able to see, hear, and feel the roar of these wonderfully preserved vintage planes. BOOK YOUR RIDES DIRECTLY referring to "Hearne event" The Yellow Rose The B-25J Mitchell medium range bomber was the preferred aircraft used by Col. James “Jimmy” Doolittle for the first US strike against Japan after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The San Marcos based Yellow Rose was used in the deserts of North Africa, hence her camouflage exterior. It is fitting this warbird join our WWII Living History Event since most POWs interned at Camp Hearne were from Rommel’s elite Afrika Korps. CENTRAL TEXAS WING OF THE COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE SAN MARCOS, TX 512-746-2226 www.cafcentex.com $395/ride come celebrate our more recent past at our newly renovated airfield On Saturday, October 19, 2013, some sixty years after the U.S. Air Force’s Hearne Field was formally dedicated as an auxiliary landing strip to the Bryan Air Force Base, Hearne Municipal (KLHB) will be celebrating recent efforts to better serve the general aviation needs of Hearne, Robertson County, the Brazos Valley, and central Texas. For an airfield that hasn’t changed much since Cold War fighter pilots shot landings there from 1954 to 1961, the upcoming celebration is the culmination of a multi-year effort under which Hearne officials have been working hard to get millions of dollars for airport improvements from numerous TxDOT Aviation grants, federal monies, and Hearne’s 4A Sales Tax Board. Completed improvements include: AWOS weather system; French drains with culverts along existing t-hangars; renovated pilots’ lounge; new airport lay-out plan; new wastewater run-off plan; new emergency spill containment plan; new FAA GPS navigation- al approach; several re-surfacing and re-striping of runway and taxiways. Recently, our new self-service fuel farm (which will continue to offer some of the lowest-priced AvGAS in the area) began operations. Plus, a game fence will be constructed this winter. A private investor has built and is currently leasing four, two-plane hangars. Hearne is re- questing another grant to build ten t-hangars in future years. Things are happening in the Hearne. Come look into our more recent past and be a part of our fantastic future! .

  • The Development of a Method for the Identification And
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND SELECTION OF PRESERVATION VALUES FOR THE PROTECTION OF WWII UNITED STATES ARMY AIRBASES IN TEXAS A Dissertation by MICHAEL ANTHONY BUNCH Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Committee Chairman: Robert Warden Committee Members: Geoffrey Booth James Bradford David G. Woodcock Head of Department: Ward Wells December 2014 Major Subject: Architecture Copyright 2014 Michael Anthony Bunch ABSTRACT Currently no compendiums of values exist that systematically outline criteria needed to guide historical and cultural conservation of the remaining AAF bases in Texas. This study examines buildings previously considered mundane and expendable to provide guidance to preservationists so that they may assign historical and cultural value to WWII AAF bases in Texas. This study analyzes criteria that could be used to determine the value of remaining assets at Bryan AAB, Hearne AAB, and Carswell AFB in Texas. This project analyzes the prevailing international standards currently used with the intent of developing values and standards across major international preservation societies and organizations that may be applied to AAF bases in Texas. Next, the study develops a process of systematic evaluation that produces an Optimal Conservation Index (OCI). An OCI is derived when a project administrator evaluates the overall project to determine the genotype and phenotype configuration of specific components of the project. Four primary objectives and fourteen standards were developed to guide the preservation efforts following careful evaluation of word repetition counts using the Getty Institute compilation of international conservation statements.

Resource Teams, organized in partnership with the Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Councils, Councils of Government, USDA-Rural Development, Community Builders with Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and County Extension Agents, are designed specifically for rural Texas communities and bring professionals with expertise in various areas of community development together to provide on-site assessments of individual communities. Resource Team assessment includes listening to the voices of all members of the community, recommending starting points for development that address the community’s specific needs, and providing long-term support for the achievement of community goals. The Resource Team’s visit creates a forum for rallying unity among the community’s citizens and its report gives communities a better position from which to recruit new businesses, retain existing businesses, and to become eligible for grants for community improvement. This report is unbiased and non-political; it has no preconceived outcomes and continues to be relevant regardless of changes in city government. In return for these services, the local community coordinates the Resource Team listening sessions and provides lodging and meal accommodations for team members during their four-day visit to the community.
