If they're really closing Ellsworth, I have to question their wisdom. It is hard to imagine a better site for an air base.
Agree...... We have thousands of miles of unrestricted air space for those 29 B1Bs to train in.
As my wife just asked, isn't it a juicy target to have all our B-1's in one location? ...and I add, even thought it is in the center of the US.
