They have plenty of military strips to setup on. [/quote] College Station is home to Texas A&M University. The Aggies have a huge military cadet corp who use the airport for missile training classes for operation & maintenance. Live fire is conducted at Ft. Bliss in El Paso, TX. Sorry but the Doom is off. Just a bunch of college kids learning about the Patriot System with inert missiles. [/quote] A training operation for practice is always the most likely explanation. [/quote] The Battery was delivered to Easterwood Airport right before classes started at the campus. My kid goes to school at Texas A&M is why I know this tidbit. [/quote] GIG'EM [/quote]
Original Message
Apparently, very few people, if anyone, at Easterwood Airport in College Station, Texas knew exactly what was going on with the sudden deployment of the Army's preeminent air defense system, either.
"Nobody knows anything, they just showed up" one commercial pilot that flies in and out of Easterwood daily told The War Zone.
