Brits Oppose Mildenhall Housing Plan: The Air Force wants to construct an estimated 440 homes on the western edge of RAF Mildenhall in Britain, but it is running in to opposition to the project from locals, according to the BBC. The concerned citizens near Mildenhall cite the potential for increased traffic and a lack of local involvement. Property developers told the BBC that there would be enough affordable homes available for locals, since a provision exists in the agreement for 160 homes for civilians.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
