There's a place in Texas that does ALL of the refurbishment on tanks, APC's and Helicopters. They do Jets in a factory outside of Austin from what I understand so this shouldn't be any surprise. Not to mention one of the big Armored and Cav bases is down in Texas, Ft. Hood ring a bell?
Thing is, I don't see this is unusual. We have been seeing that sort of thing moved around where I live, whenever our unfortunate National Guardsmen are being deployed overseas.
