The "Loring AFB today" map pictured here isn't today, it's actually a few years old. The maps available are of different vintages. The oldest ones have only two runways, as one of the smaller ones was constructed later. This map pictured is turned a few degrees clockwise, as the top end, (top right) should be almost due north. If you divide the middle runway into five segments, the bottom three are off limits as the DEP/EPA has some soil treatment project going on it. We would use the top two segments of it for the return road, then a right ( west) turn to the third runway all the way back to the bottom end where we will have the pits and staging area.
One of those large paved areas that was vacant at that picture time is now a parking lot for everything from Hummers through 155mm Mobile Howitzers belonging to the Maine National Guard for in case we get invaded by Canada.
Hang in there on the accommodations Q's, we are working on all that. There is readily fooding and motels in the area, nearby Caribou and the larger farther Presque Isle.
Distances/time similar to Maxton/Laurinburg.
