Master jet base to Pensacola?

You're fighting this battle alone. :icon_tong I've managed to learn one thing from this board: As a pensacola resident, I'm obviously too stupid to understand anything.

JAMNWW- You are off your rocker. This wasn’t my idea. My whole point was that this was someone else’s idea. What was his name? That’s right Jeff Miller, UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. I’m sure he just thought of it one night drinking and blurted it out. He probably didn’t do any feasibility studies.
GOBER- I didn’t move to Pensacola when the Navy told me to. I know about the airspace. We (Oceana) don’t work over land, except FCLP’s and getting to ranges. Like I said, Whiting can stay; just move the “other” training commands somewhere else. I don’t know how you can say anything about driving to work; I drive 45 minutes each way as it is.
FLASH- Meridian wouldn’t work for me because of the lack of water. We are the Navy.
Obviously Rep. Miller is a fool for even thinking of this, and should probably lose his job. Maybe he should hire AW as his advisors. :icon_smil

A mid vs. a nugget. That's like two retards fighting over who gets to smear feces all over themselves.

Everyone is a winner.
i'm not too sure pilot_man. while i agree that a quick left or right turnout on departure from NPA and within a couple minutes the Hornets would be out of the P'Cola airspace and not bothering any TRACOM sqd's, i don't think the W-155 is big enough for all the squadrons the Navy would bring. they'd have to expand the W-155 to make it work. having worked airspace coordination with the AF in the past, i dont think you could count on using their W-151 airspace or their bombing ranges at Eglin. they are pretty stingy with their airspace.
even though it'll be over a decade away, personally i think (and so do others within my community) that after the Corps transitions to an all JSF fixed wing fleet, it will move the squadrons from BFT up to Cherry Point for logistical purposes and give up BFT to the Navy. there's plenty of room for BFT to grow, plenty of airspace in the W-133 & W-157, and the locals like the military.
my 2¢

Yeah, catch is, there's a huge difference in parking on 64/264 as a freeway than driving Hwy 29 or Hwy 90 to head into P'cola from the outskirts. Regardless of where you live in the Tidewater area, there's infrastructure (schools, shopping, jobs for the spouse, etc.). Once you're out of P'cola, there's not much else. As for where to move the "other" tracoms, you'd just be rearranging deck chairs. It works well in P'cola because the heavy commercial traffic is low. Nothing like the prospect of a bunch of clown-paint props and jets dorking around a major metro area. Where else would we put them?
No diff than any other politician. Just looking for jobs/notoriety wrt to his constituents. You'd have to fire 'em all.

We could always pick up some ANG or AF base in a BRAC round.
Not all NAS's were near (or are near) land.
Still problems though - have to PCS all involved. In this case, find all new medical and PSD folks (not a bad idea actually). New barracks (if it's an ANG base) and public works. Find new contract maintainers since all the VT types are civilian locals. At what point is it more expensive to move?
Yeah, used to be plenty of inland bases. Case in point, I went to A school at NAS Memphis (NATTC Millington was attached to it) back in "the day" long before the Bureau moved down there from DC. They're trying to cut costs, but sometimes the alternative is just more expensive.

I like your feistiness and conviction, kid. Those attributes will serve you well in 2-3 years when you actually know what you're talking about.
