Sheesh. I take a couple AFK days and suddenly we fire 112 SLCMs at Libyan targets.

S&S - Military to return ex-flight academy
From my archive of press clippings:

Military to return ex-flight academy
Stars and Stripes
European edition, Sunday, February 21, 2010
The last vestiges of an American-sponsored school for NATO aviators in Belgium will be returned this year as part of the U.S. military drawdown in Europe, the Defense Department announced Friday.
Read the whole article here.
Snippet(s):
"Last summer, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Tactical Leadership School moved from Florennes Air Base, Belgium, to Los Llanos Air Base, Spain. The school had been located for 20 years at Florennes"
"The Belgium military is taking over the 10 empty buildings once used to support the school. They include aircraft hangars, briefing rooms, a dining facility and fitness center, according to the Belgian Ministry of Defense."
&
"Built in the early 1940s by the German military, the facility was used by the U.S. 9th Air Force during World War II to launch its bombers on German targets. The U.S. military deployed cruise missiles to Florennes in the 1980s, drawing the ire of some residents."
