Rantoul

Rantoul is a small town about twenty miles north of Champaign. Since my father was trained at an air force base there in the late '60's, I decided to visit. A friend was kind enough to bring me there.

The base was closed several years back and became Chanute Air Museum. A boy scout gathering was in progress when I visited.

I like Rantoul. There's a kind of strange magic to it. I even saw a house with bottles hanging from a tree and metallic stars painted black.

A hangar.


An old military plane.
