Otis
Once you go BRAC....
Looks like the swan song for Otis and the Eagles. In what seems to be an ill-advised move and barring something unforseen, the Eagles are going to Jersey. The primary air defense / intercept base for the North East in recent memory is going. The defensive ring has been reduced by two hundred or so miles and the response time 30 minutes. I am far from an expert but this seems ill advised for both Boston and New York....
I will also miss the rare zoom climb to 5k feet and I will miss the sound of freedom when wetting a line on Wasque. I truly hope we don't miss the extra security in the north east provided by those few planes...
