So what will be left, just the 22's and the drones?

I guess so. And maybe a detatchment of ANG folks. I don't know why the MN ANG is at Tyndall right now. That's what Scramble saysMIKE JG wrote:So what will be left, just the 22's and the drones?

Wonder if the acceleration is so the F-35's slated for Eglin could go there? Sort of sticking the finger to those people in Valparaiso pursuing the legal action? Is it conceiveable the USAF would close Eglin and shift all to Tyndall? Timescales could be a little bit coincidental especially with the F-15 drawdown and F-35 intro...

I had to choose between Tyndall & Holoman but for whatever reason I went with Holloman.
