😢😢

If I'm not mistaken, you had a jazz program 9pm, Sunday nights. That program was later called the Quiet Storm. cmiiw

July 4 was my 1st birthday. We lived off base at this point in Angeles City.

i think Clark ab was the only Air man club in the Us air force

Hi Virgil! I believe I have seen all of your videos! Thank you, they bring so many good memories to me. I was stationed at Clark 86 - 91. I was a cop so I had to stay after the eruption. Took my wife and my 1 year old daughter to Subic and put them on a ship, then convoyed back through Clark to help pack up homes and resources. Looks like you were there about the same time as I was. Did you work with Rusty Barfield? My daughter turned 1 year old on June 12th, the day of the first eruption. Wish you had more footage. I could spend days watching these. Thank you!

I was there 77-78. I went to Grissom elementary for 1st grade.

very nice

imagine if this happens today, with no US forces stationed in Clark, the inhabitants would have no assistance at all.

Best assignment in the U.S. military by far. But let's not forget the GIs shot by the NPA in October, 1987.

TAD'd/TDY'd to Clark soon after the KAL-007 Shoot-down in September of '83, was ANG then. The next three years of my life was spent as an engineer for a BAC engineer supporting the switch from inertial navigation to GPS, with much of that time in Shanwick, EI; Stillorgan/Dublin, EI; and Killarney/Cork, EI.

Lived it, hated the outcome. Forced back to the US. One funny anecdote, they offered s truck of apples to all the girls of Subic not allowed to leave. We were amazed how far they could throw them back to us. Especial memory of downing gallons of kool aid on the USS Midway, only to get sick the next day from jet fuel leaking into the water system. Good times. The ash is still visible in front street of my house here after 32 years.

Thanks for sharing the old memories, I've remember that day like it was yesterday when I was stationed aboard the USS Midway, because we also helped with the evacuation of American and Filipino citizens from Subic Bay & Clark airbase and when President George H Bush 41 told President Maria Corazon Aquino that America was not going to pay for all of the cleanup eruption of Mount Pinatubo, but only on the U.S. military bases, so she decided not to renew our leases of the military bases in the Philippines and they were all shutdown.

500 000 Filipinos affected by the closure of US military base in Clark.😂😂

Very interesting thanks for sharing

Very Nice ❤ Thank you for Sharing ❤

Pero que vulgares son los yankis igualitos a las peliculas, mentes cuadriculadas!!, Aunque aqui parecen tener de todo

Was there 84-89. Attended MacArthur Elementary! Lived near the parade field on Postal Street. Someone has to have a yearbook somewhere!

Thanks for sharing. I was stationed there from 1987-1991. This video brought back many memories of the base. Nice to see Kelly Cafeteria and the Silver Wings. Loved the Chop Suey at Kelly Cafeteria. Also good SOS on toast for breakfast. I know things change and everything is much different now, but it's nice to have these memories

I still keep the two ceramic decorative figures--- a gift from our family friend, Filipina Lea Eco Werthwein, who's married to Vincent "Jack" Werthwein who worked at the MAC terminal. The pieces were made from the Arts and Craft center. We got the latest news from tuning in to FEN. Thanks to the iconic Sgt. Rusty Barfield. Got my first taste of Baskin Robbins ice cream there. On base, it was Anthony's and off-base, it was Didi's pizza. On base, it was at the Taco shop and off-base, it was Del's taco bar. Thanks to Virgil Hopper for capturing these precious memories!

I was 10 yo old then. Now I’m in my 40’s. This video brings back memories. Thank you to all the service men and women who were there to help us❤

Lily Middle school, and then freshman year at Wagner High school 87-88

i love clark air base

We bought a Dodge Omni while there. Our Clarkmobile finally needed replacing.

I was literally at this.

I worked there from 87-91! FEN-P!!!!!! I miss the snack bar across the street. Best hot dogs ever!

Great video

Hi, I work for south Korean broadcast company JTBC, we would like to use your video on our TV program about the historical volcanic eruptions. Could you please let me know if we could use an excerpt from it giving the credit to your channel? Thanks.

I w😅as at Clark AFB 1967/68. Sure changed.

Virgil, I don't know how or from where you found this footage, but it was immensely entertaining to me. I even saw myself , a freshly graduated 6th grader, in the video. Those were some happy times back then...and then came the volcano😪 Thank you so much for your efforts to publish this here.

Omg i was there 74-76z this brings back memories of lots of places😊. Went to macarthur

It is unbelievable families were allowed to just abandon their pets and leave them with food and water but no way to escape the eruption. Eventually family pets did travel to Travis AFB at least. A hangar on base would eventually have some 200 crates.

Thanks Virgil! I was stationed at Clark from 86 to 91 as a 3rd SPS. I took my wife and daughter to Subic then put them on a ship and returned to Clark till September 91. I have seen all your videos from several years back but lost track of you. Brings back memories! I can't believe your not getting more views. Maybe it's just hard to get the word out to fellow members of Clark during that time period. Good luck and thank you for bringing back these videos and the additions you've made. Take care!!

Thank you for this! GO LILY HILL PATRIOTS!!!

I was stationed at Clark AB 1985-89 with 3rd EMS (Munitions). Loved my time there. Made some good friends.

Thank you very much. I enjoyed watching it. Hope you can produce more like this. Keep it up.

Fantastic old video

wow awesome video i went to mac Arthur elementary school in 1984 and Lilly Hill middle in 1990 then we moved back to the states when the base closed due to Pinatubo erupting in 91 really good memories growing up in the phillipines while my father was in the service the teacher where mixed Americans and Filipinos and where excellent teachers

Thank you for producing and sharing this video with us. Our family were among those that were evacuated just before the eruption. We left with just what we could carry, just thankful for safe passage.

Is that col,mcfarlane 3dtfw commander?

I remember shooting that. 90th ceremony!

Better Navy return to Philippines The chineses. Look around

Nice video What is the title of the background music on the first part of the video Thank you and God bless

The bases should never have closed

was at NAS Cubi Point 89-92. My wife has family in Angeles City now.

4:00 ; Kelly Cafeteria was my breakfast stop when I worked at 13AF. I destroyed many orders of SOS/hash browns/fried egg in that place !

Man that was a cool place in the 70’s when I was in high school Lotta kids didn’t like it but I loved every minute. Lived on the hill and then by the parade grounds. Still miss it. PI screwed it up by nickel and diming the usaf on sfa terms. Dummies. Japan then China now. Here we go again.... Great video thanks!

I bought a Harley from Jim Snow in October 1989.

I still love the old clark. Today all you can see is too much development by rich greedy businessmen mostly chinese( mostly from beijing) and koreans with the help of greedy politicians.

USA🇺🇸 for brought the prostitution in the Philippines🇵🇭
