New Naval Air Station to be built at Bugtussle, Alabama?

John,

given there's no real alternative for Oceana's assets to be relocated, what does the Navy do?

Reactivate NAS New Iberia, LA? BG

Interesting. The BRAC directed closure unless Va Beach performed a number
of actions to relieve encroachment around Oceana. Cecil was offered as an
alternative location if Va Beach could/would not comply. Evidently the
back-room boys who dreamed up this scenario didn't asked the Jacksonville
local population ... apparently they don't WANT a master jet base any more
and are quite happy with the current field usage.

Sooo ... given there's no real alternative for Oceana's assets to be
relocated, what does the Navy do? (I know, one of the commissioners
suggested Kingsville ... must be on the Texas payroll, he also vigorously
and unsuccessfully defended Ingleside ... but that dog won't hunt.) I
suspect Oceana will be with us, and heavily encroached, for a long time.
