Offutt Field

In 1918 the 61st Balloon Company of the Army Air Corp was assigned to Fort Crook at the close of World War I. In 1921, an airfield was built at the Fort as a refueling stop for mail and transcontinental flights and in 1924 the airfield was officially named Offutt Field in honor of 1st Lt. Jarvis Offutt. Offutt was an American pilot who was killed while flying with the Royal Air Force in France during World War I.^[2] 1918 (MCMXVIII) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar (see link for calendar) or a common year starting on Wednesday of the Julian calendar. ... “The Great War ” redirects here. ...

Offutt Air Force Base

Strategic Air Command

In 1948, Offutt Field transferred to the new Department of the Air Force and became Offutt Air Force Base. Later that same year, the 3902d Air Base Wing became the host unit at Offutt. During the same year, Offutt gained international prominence when it became the host base for the Headquarters of Strategic Air Command. Offutt was chosen for its strategic central position in the USA; allowing long-range, nuclear-armed bombers to (then) stay safely out of range of hostile missiles or bomber aircraft. Offutt's population and facilities grew dramatically to keep pace with the increased operational demands during the Cold War. Several new buildings were erected, including more than 2,000 family housing units. 1948 (MCMXLVIII) was a leap year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 1948 calendar). ...

The 3902d Air Base Wing was deactivated in 1986, and the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing assumed host-unit responsibilities. Increased defense spending during the 1980s brought additional operational improvements to Offutt, including the Bennie Davis Aircraft Maintenance Hangar, and a new command center for Headquarters SAC.

Offutt was burned into popular imagination during its SAC period when the command was depicted in the 1955 film Strategic Air Command (film) starring James Stewart (actor) and the 1964 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (which depicts a nuclear first strike from a mad general at the fictional Burpelson Air Force Base).

There, he held a teleconference call with Vice President Cheney, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, CIA Director Tenet, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, and others. ^[13] The meeting lasted about an hour. ^[14] Rice recalled that during the meeting, Tenet told Bush, “Sir, I believe it’s al-Qaeda. We’re doing the assessment but it looks like, it feels like, it smells like al-Qaeda.” ^[15] Condoleezza Rice (born November 14, 1954) is the 66th United States Secretary of State, and the second in the administration of President George W.

By this time, people were anticipating and expecting another reassuring public statement from Bush. ^[16] The White House staff was preparing for Bush to address the nation from the Offutt bunker, but Bush decided instead to return to Washington. ^[17]

Air Force One left Offutt around 4:30 p.m. ^[18]

Coincidentally, Omaha-resident Warren Buffett was on the base meeting that morning in a charity event which was attended by several financial services executives whose offices were in the World Trade Center. Among the executives was Anne Tatlock of Fiduciary Trust Co. International, who likely would have died had it not been for the meeting. ^[19] There is no record if Buffett or any of the executives met or even saw Bush. Warren Edward Buffett (b. ... “WTC” redirects here. ...

Bush's visit to Omaha has been the source of considerable debate:

• According to reports, Bush wanted to return directly from Louisiana but his advisors, including Vice President Cheney as well as the Secret Service, said initially that all the planes were not accounted for.
• New York Times columnist William Safire initially criticized Bush for being out of public view for nearly 10 hours at Barksdale and Offutt during the attacks (Safire also criticized Cheney for not making an appearance during the time). Safire backtracked somewhat in his September 13 column "In the Bunker" in which he said:

"It would have been irresponsible of him to come back, pounding his chest," says my source, "when hostile aircraft may have been headed our way. Any suggestion that he should have done so is ludicrous."

Confession: I made just that suggestion in yesterday's column, which stimulated two set-it-straight calls. Why didn't the V.P. make an appearance during that long afternoon in Bush's stead? The official reason is that Cheney was busy in the basement; the real reason, I think, is that he was unduly concerned it would appear presumptuous. ^[20]
