    I noticed that some thought the F-15s may be coming to 
    Hunter AAF in Savannah.  Hunter doesn't have cables 
    and other fighter support equipment (not to mention
    the ramp is slam full of 3rd AVN helicopters), so they will 
    be staying at the Savannah Combat Readiness Training 
    Center (CRTC).  The CRTC is located at Savannah IAP.
