History Since 400 AD Chinese children have played with bamboo flying toys. Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes of North America, and the only one located entirely within the United States. The rationale for basing the Squadron there was that so many reserve staff were in the Central US, and it was convenient to base the facility near the staff. As a 1–2 hour checklist had to be executed before scanning the seas, there was actually little dead time in the flight to the coast. The base consisted of 1 million cubic yards (800,000 m³) of concrete, 1. 5 miles of runways and 108 U. S. Navy buildings.
