It is located in the 3rd state from the east coast and one state from the Gulf of Mexico

Oh and as this is an older photo maybe weeks, months or years this base has grown bigger as In July of 2007, a 2,000 foot runway expansion to runway 6/24 was completed and dedicated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Now at 12,002 feet in length, runway 6/24 will now provide enough runway length for a fully-loaded and fueled Boeing 747 to land or takeoff.

Looking over just that small bit all i can say is WOW!
They even raised the NE end a whooping 47degrees higher most are only 10degrees from the opposite end that is going to make for a great take off.

Well done Surfer Tag your it! :cjlol:

The Picture your looking at is the home of the 117th Air Refueling Wing.

The mission of the 117th Air Refueling Wing is to provide aerial refueling services to fighter squadrons or other military aircraft, allowing them to remain airborne longer and giving them almost unlimited range.

The Air National Guard has a base which includes nine KC-135R air tankers assigned to the 117th Air Refueling Wing. In the past, the air guard unit operated reconnaissance aircraft.
There is also an aviation support facility for the Army National Guard.
An aircraft modification facility, originally built during World War II, is presently operated by Pemco Aeroplex. There are also two fixed base operators and numerous corporate hangars.

The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure recommendations propose distributing the 117th's KC-135Rs to Air National Guard stations in Maine, Tennessee and Arizona. Firefighting personnel would be stationed to Dannelly Field, while the expeditionary combat support group would remain based in Birmingham. The Alabama congressional delegation joined Colonel Paul Brown in strong opposition to the dispersal and the commission voted in August 2005 to keep the unit in Birmingham.
