Not Collings...the issuing is likely the location right on the edge of Lake Boon, and people who are either NIMBY or anti-military, or both.
It is a quiet, out of the way location, with narrow paved roads mixed with unsaved roads, where the Collings Foundation has predated (most likely) its detractors who don’t want it around.
That’s my take on what I have seen. I have been there twice, it isn’t suited to large crowds, and they don’t generally get them. It sound like they don’t want to expand operations, but want to expand what they display.
Thanks for the local report. IMHO they wouldn’t run the tanks near the lake etc, they would have more common sense than that. Nimby liberals here? I can see that. FWIW, I would speculate they wouldn’t have a problem with a high end McMansion Sub on that land if it upped their resale value, go figure...
