Champ brings up some great points. There are some jobs that have temp restrictions on them and cant be done outside. Then any type of x-raying has to stay out of the wind. Besides that there are restrictions on the personel as when they can be outside. And when your in grand forks or minot you can easily go weeks and never see above 0*F. Also to stand up a cold war base you have to think of all the supporting assets that would have to be stood up as well. From billiting and food to housing. The MX squadrons the OG, CE, on and on and on. It would mean adding more people, and that right now is the opposite direction the AF is going.
Prestwick, I know they didn't use the MD-11, but the KC-10 is pretty close and she is a beauty.
