I work as a fire fighter, so I know the reputation of Lake Edwards quite well and intimately from a public safety standpoint. 

She has a fighters spirit and educated me along the way ...

If they decide to permanently move the fighters elsewhere and close the base, the area will suffer.

If I had to guess, you're a single seat single engine fighter pilot... 

I hope I get a chance to fly fighters some day.

Your only option would really be to partner with him, but I'm not sure why he would share.If your post had indicated that you are a fighter, that you tend to look at things "for the principle of the matter" and that you don't like being pushed around, I'd advise that you buckle up, get your checkbook out and hire a great lawyer. 

Military, fire fighters, teachers, etc. 

Those are larger windows big enough for a fire fighter to enter with full gear including an air tank and for occupants to exit in case of fire or other major problem. 

I do not care how big small, ugly or cute you are.... being a big shot has nothing to do with anything.Think small little yoda, lifting that X fighter out of that swamp.

Go to REIA or other real estate meetups, speak to experienced realtors that are long-term investors themselves, try and find a police officer and or fire fighter that invests--they know the deal, speak to licensed contractors in the area you are interested in and find out how they feel about working there.Hope this helps.
