Where does this info come from? Not heard that U2s will be permanently stationed there.
Various FC posts.
Many suggested that this was the beginning of the detachment but, that's obviously not correct, my apologies.
Probably a shoot in the dark but I would guess that after the U-2 was circuit bashing the other week people have thought it was conducting local familiarisation training flights, put two and two together and assumed from this a future detachment being based here?
No, there's more to it than that. I'm led to believe (but don't quote me on it) that the information has come directly from people on base.
