Remember, the Air Force could make a blow job unpleasant 

Yeah, just imagine if MWR got into that business. Too expensive, lots of paperwork and no fun... then they'd just siphon off any profits to prop up failing ventures just like how they killed off the Aero Clubs.

Plenty of room at Grand Forks, that would make Holloman a paradise. 


I've seen both towns (if you can call Alamogordo a town) and there really isn't comparison.

90K+ vs 30k population.

International airport in Grand Forks.

Just a quick scan of schools has Grand forks rated as #2 school district in ND. Alamogordo doesn't even have a ranking.

North Dakota is #16 for education in the United States. NM is #48.

1.6% vs 5.8% unemployment.

Medical care... (Bankrupt hospital in Alamogordo in 2012).

Air quality.

Crime.

Boarded up buildings.

The town is a complete shithole. They don't deserve to keep that base. I'd go to Grand forks in a heart beat over NM.

Get a bunch of F-16's into those old B-52 and KC-135 hangers to keep ice off them plus a 12K ft runway. Used to have F-106's there.
