Probably departed Ft Campbell.  Refuses to come to
Nashville!!  Maybe if BRAC would include civilian
contractors and would ax Trans Alert @ Campbell AAF
making it a PPR base then maybe Nashville would get
some "mean" military aircraft for some gas n go's.  By
the way, Nashville is just as secure as Memphis,
Millington, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Louisville, etc
that get fighters ALL the time.  Sorry, had to get
this off my chest after an F-18 pilot called work and
asked about security.  He said we weren't secure
enough for overnight stops (and presumably gas n
go's), thinking KBNA is some podunk hick town airport
with Barney Fife type security. But the other
afformentioned airports are ok to go into?  I was
hurt.  This bozo has never been here and neither have
the moron CO's that have some bogus "approved" list. 
Now back to the task at hand.
