Maybe we should have many more gunnery ranges along the border.


The sad fact is that MANY training missions have been aborted,.....due to "Traffic" on designated ranges,....leaving Davis Monthan and Luke AFB with having to bring aircraft back in bombed up, and carrying other live ordinance,......

It's been a real problem, ....at one point over 60% of training flights were being aborted........that sorta' thing gets but passing comment in media format.
