Wait, 'former' Pope AFB? It has closed?

Airforce moved out. A-10s went somewhere else. Use to love watching them takeoff and on final over school I teach at. Theres a C-130 squadron left that we are trying to save. Pope got turned over to the army a few years back.

Still get to see the C-17s, C-130s, takeoff. Its awesome when they flyover my teaching hut on the climbout and approach. Especially when about 6 C-130s takeoff in a row one behind the other.

Still that is where the Special Operations guy operate out of, though. I wouldn't think those guys are going anywhere, with Fort Bragg right there, 82nd Airborne and all that. Kinda hard to run a decent airborne division without C130s to jump out of.

So what do they call it now? Joint Base Pope-Bragg or something goofy like that?

EDIT: Ah I see, it is now Pope Army Airfield.
