Because the German disc and stealth connection to the United States
has remained unbroken for all these decades.


No. The Luftwaffe has had a squadron assigned there since 1996. They're
there for the same reason the F-117s are at Holloman and the Singapore AF
is at Cannon AFB - access to range space. The fighter wings at both
Holloman and Cannon need open space to train, and we have plenty of that
here in New Mexico - White Sands near Holloman, and Melrose and Pecos
ranges near Cannon.


They have done training for years here, and it has nothing to do with
UFOs..whoever said that sounds like a good candidate for Kook of the Month.

Before that, they did F-104 training. And they have sent students and
instructors to Sheppard AFB, since the 60's well before ENJJPT.
