After 4 Decades, a Cold War Symbol Stands Down
The New York Times reports Cheyenne Mountain will shut down daily operations to save costs and in response to the changing nature of the threats to North America. The base’s functions and most of the personnel assigned there will transfer to nearby Peterson Air Force Base. The mountain will be kept only as a backup, though fully operational and staffed with support personnel — a place of secure retreat should the need again arise.
There is no word on whether the SGC will remain where it is. 😉
Read the article for more info, though free registration is required once the story is a day or more old.
Hey maybe MGM could rent the place and shoot episodes from Cheyenne Mountain…..wild idea 🙂 eh???
That would be kinda cool…I always thought it was funny how SG was supposed to be made up of American soldiers, yet most of the actors are Canadian and it’s filmed in Canada! (course I luv the big C, grew up on the boarder)
Canada is geourges lived there on and off planning to purchase a log cabin in kamloops so I can retire there …working on it now
