Regarding some of the NE Intel network webpages and the past posts regarding the photo of Niagara Falls,...I spoke to a civilian collegue recently who mentioned working at the Niagara Falls Air Natioanl Guard or AFR Base,...major function was to provide fuel for all C-135s in transAtlantic air support.
Perhaps the significance is a operational impedence against tacair once they commandeer the air carriers in numbers from overseas origins and pack them from overseas bases. Our response time might strongly imply midair refueling capacity.
