I should have mentioned that this airfield saw a lot of activity during a
winter when the airport at Buffalo was shut down due to an extreme lake effect
snowstorm. The NYANG unit recalled all of it's C-130D aircraft plus a spare
set of skis from Thule AB. C-130s from all over were hauling in snow removal
equipment, medical supplies, etc. to Scehnectady, which were then airlifted by
the C-130Ds as they were the only ones who could use the runways at Buffalo,
which were buried under deep snow. That went on for a couple of days.
