YESTERYEARS
25 YEARS AGO: It was announced that plans were being made for Castle Air Force Base’s golden anniversary. The celebration was planned for Oct. 4, 5 and 6, and would mark Castle’s 50 years in the Central Valley. The base opened in 1941 and was originally named Merced Army Air Field. The Air Force’s Thunderbirds Aerial Demonstration Team and the Army’s Golden Knights were expected to put on an air show in celebration of the air base.
