We were on the closure list again in '05 - but managed to stay open. I would have been shocked if this place closed down. It would cripple the economy here and we certainly wouldn't want to do something that would make sense for the military vs the local civilian community. (ie. rebuilding the damn base in MS that is BELOW sea level.) Either way, we have several new missions coming into the base over the next couple years - so hopefully we won't have to jump thru the hoops at the next BRAC go-along. We probably will though.... politics.....

I don't remember wind being an issue once we got up into the hills, but it was ridiculous at Wall Drug.
Yeah, there's been rumblings about Offutt over the years as well. That would essentially put the city of Bellevue, NE out of business. I haven't heard anything since they "downsized" to StratCom though. I think they're pretty safe for now, but like you said, it's all politics so you never know.
