Warbird Park – Myrtle Beach, SC

As always, we like to take a moment to salute our brave men and women of the armed forces and, so, yesterday we paid our respects at Warbird Park in Myrtle Beach, SC – a small park to recognize the service of members of the Myrtle Beach Army Air Field (1940-1947) and the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base (until 1993 and its closure as a military base).  Today, the airfield is Myrtle Beach International Airport and much of the old base has been developed into a mixed use commercial/residential area called Market Commons.  If you would like to know more about this base, we recommend this article from Wikipedia.
