RE: Background Material: A call for Help from US Easterners

 
> I also believe that there is an Air Force base near Spokane.	

That's Fairchild AFB -- a SAC base with nuclear capability.  I grew up
there, and we used to watch the B-52's flying around all the time, but
to see a fighter is rare.

There's also Mountainhome AFB in Idaho and Malmstrom AFB in Montana; 
those might be TAC bases, although I don't know for sure any more.

Western Washington has Fort Lewis (3rd Bde, 2ID;  1st Bde, 25th ID;  2nd
Ranger Bn.;  1st SFG), McChord AFB (mostly heavy lift stuff), Bangor sub
base, Bremerton shipyard, and the Whidbey Island NAS, if anyone needs a
run-down.  It's the largest concentration of US military power north of
San Diego/Ft. Irwin and west of Colorado.
