Kirtland AFB : Share the Air

[Fräulein]

I was looking for images of the V22 from a little soirée, the 58th Special Operations Wing put on a few weeks back. It was one of those "we would like to use your property to conduct our training exercises" kind of deals. I took a few good pics and film - but wanted something better.

Anyways... I found this lovely PDF at their website.

At first glance it looks as though the USAF owns every bit of airspace, except for Deming, Taos, and southern Colorado. Not much in Deming. And Taos is full of liberal peace loving anti gun war hippies and artists. So no loss there.

I like to imagine that the poster was kind of drawn up like this:

"We need to fly out of the state once in a while. Can we use the airspace here?"

AF - "No. that's ours."

"what about here?"

AF - "Ours."

"Here?"

AF- "Sorry. Ours."

"What about.."

AF - "Nope."

"How about here?"

AF - "Oh yeah...no..wait. No. That is also ours."

To corrupt and internet meme - "All your state belong to us."

oh -the video I took of the "show n' tell" from the Osprey. It was out in Macintosh. It was extremly cold and windy.
