Don't know about VA Beach/Norfolk but Pensacola can be a very tough commute.

Then again there is always VR-57 in Coronado with a drive to LAX. Could be at least a year to get to LAX though.

Thanks Scoop. Andrews does have the C-130 unit, VR-53. I've actually visited them twice already. Committing to moving to a high cost of living location before I have a job makes me nervous, but I keep going back to this as the best long term option for the family. Easiest airline commute / basing if I live there, and easiest commute from GSP if we end up moving there.

My heart wants to go fly the T-6 on the weekends, but my head tells me it wouldn't be worth the commuting trouble.

Thanks sailing. Getting dropped off at the airport for a GSP commute or driving to ATL or CLT should provide plenty of options.
