Fedex among others provide a strong employment base.

Sitting in the basement all in pieces was a 1940's bi plane ,

Ill be on a plane headed for Cincinnati! 

And because it is a pretty short plane ride from LA I do think it might be my next expansion area.

@Nathan Brooks thanks for the advise thats exactly what I am planing on doing. its getting that little small issue cleared is what i am having a problem with. 

My understanding is they are relocating all plane repairs to Cecil Field (about 20 minutes west) for several years (in phases) but I think aside from that everything will be operating as normal at NAS Jax.

I lost count after 20 some different planes of roof.

In a nutshell, I spoke with one of their sales reps for about a week before the sign-up, asked lots of questions, got lots of positive feedback (as well as immediate callbacks), and the FedEx with the "program" and membership info arrived as expected a week later.

If you have it free and clear, and you financing for 30 years, are you planing a balloon payment in 5 years?

They just sit there collecting dust, waiting for their turn for the scrapyard or to have parts taken from them, or perhaps the distant chance that one day all hell breaks loose and we need thousands more military planes to defend ourselves.
