Been saying that for a while, but no one wanted to listen. Everyone keeps questioning why VPS is spending money on remodeling. I understood the date for closure of VPS to be only after the completion of the new limited access road, running parallel to hwy 20, from Niceville to hwy 331.

You can thank the terrorists acts of 9/11 for the AF taking it back.

How?
You'd think a plane going into or out of an airforce base and full of military or ex-military passengers wouldn't be a good target.

Actually, from a suicide terrorist's perspective, they'd make great targets. Eglin AFB is full of top secret stuff, and they have more below ground than they do above ground. 9/11 changed security everywhere and not renewing VPS's lease, will help stiffen security at Eglin.

I know Eglin is a great target, I'm just saying that if I was going to hijack a plane it wouldn't be a small regional plane full of people w/ big shoulders and short haircuts.

I understand that you are saying the terrorists wouldn't likely succeed by going up against trained professionals. However, successful targeting of the US military would be a major slap in the face of America, so it is easy for me to understand why, if given a choice, the AF would want to try and limit access onto Eglin's property. If you ever get to feeling frisky, try to drive down one of the Eglin driveway's off of hwy 20 or 331. Those people don't play. Expect a long stay if you try it.
