Let's say you have an air force base that's a problem. Maybe it's full of bad people who want to execute a rogue missile launch or worse. Or maybe the people there are fine, but the base itself and its F-22 stealth fighters are 100 percent comp'd with Chinese surveillance and remote control tech. In any case, the only way to fix this problem is to start completely over from scratch. How do you do that without causing public panic, suspicion, weakness, or outrage over wasted tax dollars?
You let a hurricane wipe the entire base off the map and then rebuild from scratch! Who would question a giant storm? Only crackpots, of course. "Global warming" is the only correct answer here.
>The flight line is devastated. Every building has severe damage. Many buildings are a complete loss. The hurricane completely destroyed the Tyndall marina. The structures and docks are gone. The drone runway, AFCEC labs, and Silver Flag areas all sustained catastrophic damage.
What a coincidence!
>Air Force officials described the damage imparted to the base by the hurricane as "catastrophic", with all of the base's facilities being declared "unlivable" as of October 12, 2018. While efforts to repair the base are underway, there is no confirmed time of completion on the repairs according to 325th Fighter Wing Commander Col Brian Laidlaw. In the stead of Hurricane Michael, airmen assigned to the 325th Fighter Wing have been told they will be away from the installation for a significant amount of time.
Nobody around to ask unwanted questions. No risk of accidental casualties during the real clean-up.
>Tyndall is home to 55 F-22 stealth fighters of which 33 were sent to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
No coded digits here! Nothing suspicious about the use of 33 or the entire existence of Wright-Patterson AFB. >>3461145
