There has been an ogoing battle between the Nevada Congressional
Delegation and the Air Force about transfering the Stealth Fighter
Wing to Holloman AFB in N.M.

They're argument is that Tonopah, current home of the Stealth is
not an operational fighter base, merely a testing base.  Might this
transfer be part of a plan to get Aurora testing underway?  Afterall
Tonopah is where the U-2 and SR-71 were also developed.
