How in the heck do you have an af base with no runway?Β  Thats like a rifle range with only a two meter range.

when I first enlisted in 82, we used 22 adapters and qualified with 22LR on targets designed to replicate 5.56 targets out to 200 or 400 meters (forget which) and the ranges were less than 10 foot…………

Lots of history here, it never had a modern runway (had a dirt strip) The mission here is 150 (was 200) ICBM’sΒ
