Reply #32: Hmm - I did not know that Barksdale was a staging area for ME ops.

That definately puts a different twist on the story. To be honest, when I first heard about it, I was mildly concerned, but then I lived through the Cold War when you had planes flying around with nukes. You just assumed that a USAF bomber had nukes on board, whether it did or not. And since I lived in New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from New York City we also had several missle installations - one just up the road a ways next to a drive-in theater that my family patronized - for protecting the city. But the information on Barksdale now has me worried. That, and September 11th is coming up.
