On Feb. 10, 1966, Lackland suffered a small outbreak of Meningococcal (spinal) Meningitis, which proved fatal to one BMT Airman. The Air Force moved quickly to halt a possible epidemic and on February 14 headquarters directed that Amarillo AFB would become an alternative BMT center. The first five flights began training on February 27, and BMT continued at Amarillo AFB through Dec. 11, 1968. Amarillo AFB was closed three weeks later on Dec. 31, 1968.
