#1 Hmmm...they just moved the Special Ops group (27th) to Cannon AFB, Clovis NM from that area because Cannon had an environment close to what the AF has had to operate in the WOT, it is not subject to displacements because of hurricanes, and is already cleared of "training activities to both avoid and minimize noise impacts" because it has received the appropriate paperwork to do supersonic training [can we say big booms?]. So, why are they doing this? /rhetorical question understanding that 'political' considerations no matter how crippling to operational use have priority.
