And as far as Robins being the Tinker of the east...here's my proof (I could be mistaken on some of this, so if I am, forgive me):

-Both bases are AFMC bases

-Both bases have large civilian presence

-Parking sucks in both places

-Both bases have an ISR airframe as a tenant unit on the base

-Both bases have a Combat Comm unit (3rd and 5th)

-Both bases have a depot, OKALC, and whatever the robins guys have.

And I apologize for the thread bump for those not interested.

All of which makes a great case for going RC-135s if you're thinking ISR platforms. They're the host unit on an ACC base (largest wing in ACC actually!). Sounds like the RCs have a better working relationship with the mission crews (vs. E-3/8s) and actually have decent opportunities to move around once your initial tour is up (4-5 years).
