This place is changing. You can t stay relevant in 2026 by only flying to LBB. At least they got that.
They got a few rallies scheduled next months. We should know more by then.
You’re correct regarding the XLR. Bases east of the Mississippi could do mainland Europe. Someone suggested Austin to Europe, which isn’t happening. It’s 4200nm to Lisbon (great circle) and direct routing is not available. Winter winds would make it excessive. Western bases, including Austin, can do Hawaii. South of the border ? It could probably go as far as Rio. Near the Copa, Copa Cabana. Which is close to the airport Hyatt Place. Across the street from a gas station. Where the twenty dollar bill will be spent.
