Default Danger to antenna test range?

Glad that test range would be out of danger. I just wondered if there was
any chance that it was endangered. I heard about it, never had chance to see
it. Our son graduated from Tucson UofA, he was skydiving at the base,
contemplating to become AF pilot.

Unfortunate that the "environmentalblists" are causing forests not to be
maintained and not having clearing for the roads for fire breaks and easy
access by the firefighters.

If you're talking about this range:

I doubt it.

What little vegetation that's there would burn up in about five
minutes.

Here's a sample:

BTW, you get quite a view from the top of the "Red Tower."
