Default Future of DMAFB

Any news floating around out there regarding the future of Davis-Monthan?
With the A-10's slated to be retired, local media has mentioned that it will
become an F-22 base in the next few years. However, I can find no follow up
information to confirm this.

Also have heard that the EC-130's will be going elsewhere.

Closure seems unlikely, however it is one of the bases greatly effected by
urban sprawl as Tucson now totally surrounds the base to within a few meters
in some areas.

How would AMARC factor into a closure decision? Would AMARC stick around as
a seperate installation? Would seem nigh impossible, if not rather idiotic,
to move AMARC in any fashion, given the sheer number of aircraft out there.

Paul
