Dallas has an old Air Force base right in town that the Air Force gave to the city and isn’t being used right now. The city is trying to sell it. That would also be a good choice.
It would make sense..but again, with Texas so heavily invested in luring companies from blue states..choosing Texas, like SC..is waving a red flag in the union’s face..Boeing will still have to deal with the IAM...so it’s likely that they’ll want to let the union save some face...
Actually, Navy, not Air Force. And the city always owned it. When the Navy moved out, they let the basements of several buildings flood and chopped the landing light wires underwater in the lake to vandalize the place before they let it revert back to the city.

I live in the DFW metroplex and I’m not aware of an Air Force base right in downtown Dallas. But, not saying there isn’t one. However, Carswell AFB is on the outskirts of Fort Worth and was used for B-36’s and B-52’s, now used a little by the Air Guard I think. Lockheed is also located here in the metroplex. Btw, the B-36 was built by Convair here in the metroplex. So, there is a long history of aircraft manufacturing in this area.
What AFB was that?
Sure you don’t mean Ft. Worth?
