This is a picture of The Mohawk Valley.  A B1 Bomber that used to fly out of Griffiss when our base was still a base.  Just before the base closed, this aircraft was retired and turned into a monument.  It now sits greeting visitors to the Griffiss Business and Technology Park (the Former Griffiss Air Force Base).
