I think it would make sense to relocate everything the Eglin AFB and close Tyndall. I am not a big fan of base closures but they are already very close to each other and it would cost a fortune to rebuild the base.

Just based on photos, you can start adding up the funding requirements. You would be talking about 700 million-plus on repairs or complete replacement of buildings. Time to achieve this? Two years?

My guess is that they will fix the runway and hangers...maybe put up a barracks for the aircraft maintainers and some limited support personnel, then move the bulk of support folks over to Eglin.

I’ll even add this comment. It’s only a question of when Eglin gets a major hurricane to come through, and lay it flat as well. All of these installations along the coast make no sense.

I bet it gets closed like Homestead was.

I was thinking the same thing, Tyndall is a relatively small base mainly used for NORAD. It became less relevant when they got rid of the Southeastern Air Defense Sector about a decade ago.

The air miles distance between Eglin and Tyndall is minimal as far mission requirements for basing aircraft.

I think it would make sense to relocate everything the
Eglin AFB and close Tyndall.

If you have to rebuild everything then relocation
for sure should be a consideration.
