Good assignment? Worked with a controller in Berlin that was rated in Travis Tower. He said the runway configuration took a while getting used to. I’m also a little surprised that Travis still has a RAPCON. I would have thought that the FAA had gobbled it up.

The DoD and these dem politicians are trying to act all stupid. Like hay, we just noticed one entity owns all the land around this AFB. DERP!

Don’t you believe it. Not for a second.
I don’t care how inept our leaders are.

That wouldn’t be Lt Gabe, would it? He was rated in the tower, and I know he went to Berlin from Travis. Yes, parallel runways, end to end, took a little getting used to. We used to try to arrange, to set two heavies down on parallel runways at the same time. It was a beautiful thing. It was even more majestic, to run F-15s at 1,600 feet, over top of the C-5s at 1,100. It was hairy.

Why? Because they are a front for an even more shadowy group which goes by the initials P.L.A.

Maybe his real name is “FRANNELY”.

Because the CCP and CCP money are buying land around our military base?

To create Utopia. The first privately owned “15 minute city” where residents will live in peace and harmony and never need to use a dirty filthy car. Nothing will be owned and your very existence will be subscription based.

I was talking to a family friend about this story and she had an interesting take on it.

Upon hearing of the billionaires buying up the land around Travis AFB through front companies, she thought they might be building a private airport for themselves if Travis is on a future base closure list.

I hadn't considered that, but a private airport on the eastern edge of San Francisco and western edge of Sacramento and just south of wine country is an intriguing idea for billionaires people with private jets.

Maybe they want to turn the area into an exclusive playground for the global elites?
