I had a phone discussion with a representative of the Brunswick Naval base, now known as
http://www.mrra.us/contactus.html, or Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority.
Basically, predictably, currently, everything is in flux, and if we were allowed use of the place it would not be until after May 2011 when it is totally unoccupied by the military.
At that point our main issues would be appeasing the FAA, as it would probably still be a working airport, and FAA has the final say on activities in their jurisdiction. From past experiences, and especially since 9/11, I do know they are super conservative towards non pure airport activities. Although the rep I spoke with is very focused on these types of functions, would like us or even concerts to occasionally occupy the premises, possibly on the big runway, as there are two.
He also mentioned our Bird Pals are local residents in Brunswick too, but we agreed that as there has been constant traffic the birds would be used to the noise presence and hopefully would not be the issue it is in Limestone.
Bottom line, we keep in touch, definitely invite them up for LTA/2010, and give it our best shot.
Any more places of interest, please feel free to mention it here. I will be on it like a bum on a Baloney sandwich...
