On 9/11, the F-15s from Otis damn near beat McGuire's to NYC.
I'm sure these base closings have nothing to do with "blue" vs "red" states---sure I am  |
Do the 16s at McGuire pull strip alert? I thought it was not an alert base like Burlington's F16s are no longer an alert base. PLus the Eagles have 35-40% more range.

Hey John I thought someone up at the Maine tower job I been doing for the last few years told me that Brunswick was only training now? Most of what I see these guys doing up there is circular flight and touch n go's on the runway?
Some of this stuff is stupid. No way they will close Otis you watch.

That's what a lot of it is, guard units getting their monthly flight hours in. But with all the former Orion facilities gone, just in New England was Weymouth NAS and I think Quonset had P3s too, having the nearest P3 base in FLA is poor...
