There are apparently two Odyssey Middle Schools, the one in Boyton Beach and one about 3-5 miles northeast of the Orlando Airport (MCO).

Since the story says the school in question in in Boyton Beach, I guess that's the one they are talking about, but maybe they got confused as well?

The story as written by an *Orlando* TV station got the location wrong. I have to drive right by this school to get to my office. I sent them (WESH) an email asking if they outsource their reporting.

Here is a Mapquest map that shows the location of the school and proximity to OIA.

You can see the school itself is about at the edge of the developments, though more are being built to the east of it. If you zoom out a little bit you can see OIA just to the Southwest of the school. The original runways built many years ago are just to the west of OIA. My understanding is that they are two miles long and were constructed to handle the B52s.

Not many people know it but there is a B52 that sits in front of OIA. It's part of a memorial park that sits out front of the airport but the politicians have it hidden so well from the highways and entrances to the airport that hardly anyone knows it's there. There aren't even any signs pointing the way to it.

Last I heard that some of the developers were going to pay to have their customer's lots/homes checked for explosives. Haven't heard if they've found any yet.
