TF-16 Honduras, C.A.
About this blog
After five years in the military, my first mission overseas was in Honduras building a road thru the mountains. Soto Cano Air Base (commonly known as Palmerola Air Base) is a joint Honduras and United States military base near Comayagua in Honduras. A large concentration of US troops and the Honduran military Air Force academy use the airbase. The airbase became operational in 1981. Oliver North once used Palmerola as a base of operations for the U.S. backed Contras in the 1980s. Now the U.S. military uses Soto Cano as a launching point for its war on drugs efforts in Central America as well as humanitarian aid missions throughout Honduras and Central America.
