This aerial photo is old, but it'll give you an idea. Two 8000' runways.
The govmink just finished the new tower a couple years ago.

I live 7sm down the river; my hangar is about 8sm left of the upper left corner.

Troy: That building at 9:00 o'clock in the first photo is a large hangar. It may not be the huge hangar -- as noted, the photo is older -- that was completed not many years ago. It was designed to hold the planes which would be replacing the Orion P-3C aircraft. Of course, long after the mammoth building was completed the new planes hadn't even been built. NAS Brunswick's planes are headed -- there are only three left and they'll be gone in December -- to Jacksonville, FL. And NAS Jacksonville doesn't even have hangars big enough to hold the P-3C replacement planes when they do come forth. Government!!

Said huge hangar is likely to be the new location for Oxford Aviation's expansion after the Base is closed -- or even before, if the Navy gives permission.

Well, dayamm! You should have contacted me. Incidentally, my referenced "huge hangar" can be seen in Gary's 2nd photo. It's the extremely long, light-colored building on the North of the photo.
