Bill Nelson: “Yes, sir. In there is the area that is restricted because it is the largest training and testing area for the U.S.…”

“Yes, sir. In there is the area that is restricted because it is the largest training and testing area for the U.S. military in the world. It is, as declared by the Pentagon, incompatible to have rigs where we are doing the testing and training of our U.S. military. I ask the Senator, who is a great supporter of the military, why did all pilot training for the FA-22 come to Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, and why, in the realignment, did all pilot training for the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter come to Eglin Air Force Base, and why did all of the U.S. Navy Atlantic fleet training come to northwest Florida after it was shut down?”
