User ID: 79497289 United States 10/21/2020 09:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This one is kind of spooky to me considering I just got done re-reading Alas Babylon. Right before the nuclear war, Strategic Air Command dispersed many of their aircraft to small regional airports away from bases and cities...like College Station. Probably not why this is happening, but still spooky. Also, it seems strange to me that they did it at this airport, without telling anyone. Couldn't the same drill be accomplished at any number of abandoned fields without disturbing civilian air traffic? I honestly have no idea, maybe it is just a drill, but this one seems odd.

User ID: 79497289 United States 10/21/2020 09:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | most of us don't know the area. what do you think it means? . I don't live there, but I did spend some significant time in that area years ago. College Station is right between Houston, Austin, and Fort Hood, all of which would be targets in a war. Maybe that is what they are alluding to? Maybe it would be where they would stage outside target areas? Blue Horseshoe loves GLP |

I wasn't thinking they could cover those cities, but that the army would set up in College Station as a base during/after an attack. But I honestly have no idea - maybe there is something else special about College Station beside the Texas A&M Blue Horseshoe loves GLP |

User ID: 36300319 United States 10/21/2020 10:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Could it be stationed there to take out any cruise missiles launched from the Gulf of Mexico... This is just one Patriot Missile Battery. Would be interesting if it were occurring at other small regional airports that ring the Gulf of Mexico... Just imagine Tankers or Merchant ships launching cruise missiles (Club-K) off their decks. It would be a very short response time before they hit their intended targets. If the military positions enough of these missile batteries, in key areas, it could provide a small level of protection and limit the damage done by a cruise missile attack... |
