Travis AFB, CA so i just got to Travis here is boring Fairfield, CA and it seems kind of boring. Is there anyone stationed here? I have seen like one f-body on base only. Lots of ricers though.

I have a very good friend who is there... or was there last I knew. His name is scott, and drives a badass white 04 cobra, watch out for that car, you will know what I mean when you hear/see it.

I know that you're in Fairfield but feel free to checkout Sacfbodyz.com or norcal-lsx.com . As far as I know from talking to someone that is stationed at Travis, there are 3 FBodies on base. I'm stationed at Beale AFB but +1 to 2002t/a06's comment, San Fran, Sac or Chico if you're trying to go out and have fun. Also, you aren't that far from UC Davis either...

Chico is overrated now that they are cracking down on crap. I left the school after 2 years because it just got old quickly. It is supposed to be more fun if you go there for weekends as opposed to living there though lol. 5th and Ivy weee...go get some franky's pizza for me.

Well im at sheppard and just got my assignment to Travis AFB I picked all stateside bases on the east coast and they stuck me at Travis. Im a 2A611C Propulsion systems on heavies not sure what plane ill be working on just yet, I wanted to work on fighters but o' well I guess thats the air force.
Im planning on buying my T/A in a few weeks I want to get it registered in my home state so I can bypass all the emissions BS.

we overnighted at Travis a month ago on our way to Guam(still here) I was really hoping to see a few hotrods on base but all I heard was a lot of fart cans....seemed like every corner was pasted with rice to me!! Good luck with the heavies...... you'll have plenty of work there!! Oh, and you guys think it's bad there you outta try this place. Every ragged toyota, nissan and honda has a 5" can on it and I've only heard the rumble of a v8 twice since we've been here too. Thank GOD for f15's...... the only sound of power I've heard in a month. Headed back home next week!!

I fly through there a few times a year and my g/f is stationed there for now so I get there quite a bit. I haven't seen a lot of 4th gens but there's a shitload of classics roaming the streets of california in great shape. As for **** to do there's a lot, just depends what you want. The slopes are 40min away i think and free for military. Tons of wineries out there, bars are every where. i can get a list of some good ones from my girl if you need it. but yeah san fran and sac have some stuff to do, alcatraz was a cool trip. Just watch out for those fires. Travis had a ton of abandoned housing on base burn down, they had the whole base on lockdown for a couple days from it. and during the forest fire season the sky is always dark from the smoke. It's windy as **** there too, cold at night, hot during the day. What else you wanna know? lol

Man what are you guys talking about????? One of the fastest 4th gens on the West Coast is right outside the gate at Travis.... mine..... 
heheheheh. I don't drive it on base though.... I had it at a car show on base and drove it home to vacaville but that was about it... There are a few F-bodies on base that are nice. There's a NBM SS that is slammed on chrome SS wheels, I've seen a White Pontiac WS6 that is real clean.... There's a few others.... There's a couple of Fast cobras on base too.... There's a yellow one I like and then you have John over at the 60th AMXS with a couple of cobras.. One is a 93 cobra with a blown 400+ SBF... He ran 10.30's just recently at sac....
There's ALOT of hot cars out here but the local cops have really cracked down on streetracing and the local scene is not nearly as hot as it was about 10-12 years ago. The mid 90s' you could travel 2 miles from the gate on ANY saturday night and you'd find 50-60 cars on the side of the road racing out near the Golf course or the back suisun gate (now closed)...

**** not that bad.. Travis is easily the best base west of the mississippi..... Everything is within driving distance. Skiing, surfing, san fran, napa, sac, tahoe, reno... vegas ain't too far.... if you wanna drive to socal it's a day trip....
And as far as base infrastructure it's awesome.. some bases are falling apart with no funding while travis is sprawling with new everything. huge BX, huge commissary, great new base housing. I could stand for the youth center to be rebuilt as that hasn't been touched for years but oh well. You can't complain. I'm a loadmaster so we frequently go to Army bases and i'm like OH MY GOD is this how they keep the base????? The Air force has it going on when it comes to spending cash on the base itself. or I should say AIR MOBILITY COMMAND has it going on.... cause i've see some ACC bases that were wrecked as well (LANGLEY).... LOL
