Say what?? I have no idea what you are suggesting.

My point was that if the SAC base is closed, there is no meeting there,
therefore the story is questionable, eh?

Offutt Air Force base is no longer a SAC base (Strategic Air Command
doesn't exist anymore), but it hasn't been closed. It is now an Air Combat
Command base.

The fact that the BBC author still called it a SAC base is just more
evidence of how little the BBC author, or his sources, knows about
the US military, its force doctrines, and its weapons systems.
