I think it's empty now, anyway, or soon will be.

It's a long way from empty, unfortunately. Haven't even started burning ordinance yet. There have been one or two test burns (of non-chemical material); I have lost track. Most of the publicity is bad and has to do with the workers who felt they were exposed to a chemical leak a couple of years ago. I believe them, despite the official denials. Even an M.D. at Hermiston Hospital claimed to have been exposed from fumes coming off the workers clothing. I think the court case is still in progress.

When I heard the F-18 confirmation I thought maybe they were the two due in the Tri-Cities this weekend for the over-river airshow. But apparently not; they were training at the Boardman test range.
