The Air National Guard is being crippled as well.
Michigan may lose the 107th FS (currently A-10’s), which has been in residence and on duty at Selfridge since 1926.
Selfridge has been an active duty military air field since 1917 and is the only remaining base in Michigan with airpower capabilities.
If Selfridge loses the 107th it will then be on a fast track for closure.
My instincts tell me that the push to close Selfridge Field is motivated by a liberal agenda to change the local culture and to make that lakefront property available to real estate developers who’ve been patiently waiting for such an opportunity...
Am I right, Senator Levin? You’ve been involved in every one of Michigan’s base closures, haven’t you...The whispers in your ear must be getting louder and maybe now you’ll take that offer.
