The idea of packing up and entire flight test organization and moving it to a new location is daunting, but not unprecedented. USAF testing was once largely based at Wright Field in Ohio, but is now centered at Edwards AFB in California. The folks at Fort Rucker have earned a solid reputation for great work, known even to Air Force scum like your blogger. The latest BRAC has caused a move to Redstone. The good news is that a lot of test infrastructure is already in place there. Guess we'll see how it goes over the next couple of years.
