Sign of the times
A display heralding the upcoming Keesler Air Show and Open House, March 19-20, has been placed in the median of Larcher Boulevard west of the base exchange and commissary. As a tribute to Keesler’s 70th anniversary celebration this year, the roadside signs were painted in the Burma-Shave scheme, which was featured prominently from the 1920s to the 1950s. The six signs conclude with Keesler Field, which was the installation’s moniker in 1941. After the Keesler Field sign is a 4-foot by 8-foot display featuring a sixaircraft formation of the Blue Angels and an American Flag over blue skies. The display was created by Lt. Col. Jonathan Wright, 81st Contracting Squadron commander. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
