Houses tanker planes, that can be used to fly and reinforce any area within' hours.

Imagine a few formations of f15's and such screaming state to state full afterburn hitting up tanker after tanker in a line flying from east to west or vice versa.


And you will understand the importance of a tanker fleet.


Either way, come sun up to sun down, that base can be crawling with newly arrived fighter's.

Well since there is a US Naval Base in Guantamano Bay, Cuba. I am sure we some sort of anti-aircraft weapon if not a aircraft carrier down there.

No need to scramble fighters from MacDill. You already have Homestead ARB and Boca China NAS equiped with fighters.
