The other went to a municipal airport fairly close to Tuskegee, but I forget exactly where.
I believe the answer is Troy, AL.
We had a change of plans for our "vacation" and ended up Alabama for another AFHRA visit. We did a quick aerial tour of Tuskegee AAF and Moton Field this afternoon.
Here is what remains of Tuskegee AAF today, looking north. Most of the runway surface has been reclaimed except for one, but the concrete apron and all three hangar floors are still substantially intact. The main cantonment roads and circle drive are quite evident also:
This view is looking roughly southwest, with various building foundations and roadways visible:
This is Moton Field, where the cadets were given Primary instruction. There is a major reconstruction/restoration project going on at the original WWII hangar site that I'll try to get over to see this week. The east hangar had burned down a number of years ago, but a new one has sprung up in its place, evidently incorporating the surviving tower on the east corner:
I couldn't remember where the third hangar from Tuskegee AAF went after being dismantled. It is at Clanton, Alabama, and we'll try to run up there some evening this week to shoot some photos. I don't know if we'll get down to Troy or not, but I'll try.
This is the hangar that was moved to Dannelly Field.
