Correction on who does airfield construction? US Navy Construction Battalion (SeaBee's) yes? I only suggest this as I live near a CB base. #Ooorah Chris! I'd figure US Allies will be setting up homesteads on these outer lying airfields for the long term. Cycling visits into operational tempo. Always have a presence. We should chip in and get Chris a B-52 brake parachute. It would get his book library with a tactical motif. You ever read that Dan Hampton F-16 book?
