The range has been used by the military since the end of World War II, long before the once-rural area was developed.

Wow, range 3 1/2 miles away... Yeah, that'd be the place I'd want to move to. Bet there will be calls to close the place down.

My prediction is that that range is already shut down -- and that the last firing run has been made on it.

I'm amazed that complaints over the noise of Vulcans firing overhead (sounds like a very loud foghorn) have not already caused the range to be closed.

Unless there is some sort of arming system fault found, that pilot is toast...
