Default BRAC

Attended a nice airshow at the Barnes ANGB, Westfield Mass yesterday.
Had the chance to speak with a Lt Col alongside his Otis based F-15A.

I was aware BRAC voted to close the Otis ANGB but hadn't spotted a thing
about who would be picking up that tasking. To my surprise he replied
they were keeping the tasking but moving to Barnes.

He was openly questioning whether the BRAC panel had the full picture.
Instead of launching for intercepts with unrestricted climbs and sonic
speeds they would now have to weave their way through a maze of airways
traffic. One can only guess the impact that will have on the time to
intercept.
