The Granite Construction Company is just a local construction company here in Utah. I guess they put in the lowest bid the re-do the flight line, or whatever at Dugway.

As far as what a 2dLt. said...I would take that with a grain of salt. Rarely have I ever heard of Lt's making public statements like that. Most 2dLt's are about as green as it gets when it comes to the AF...straight out of college, and less than 2 years of service. To be honest they are probably the least respected rank of all...even A1C's (E-3's) dont listen to what they say.

What im trying to say is that I cannot remember a butter bar in a position to be making public statements... i.e they probably dont know what the hell they are talking about.

Not saying that its not true...but take it with a grain of salt.

Granite Construction is a California based construction company that specializes in infrastructure construction, bridges, tunnels, airports and the like. Just about every freeway in cali was built to some extent by granite. If it is big and requires concrete they are the ones to call.

I don't see what's so significant about this story. So the military is testing UAVs at Dugway. They do that at just about every base. So a large cement outfit is building a runway at a publicly-disclosed base.

Am I missing something here?

what is at Dugway, this is a google earth image look it up and let me know what you think. Lat. 40°11'55.29"N Long. 113°10'38.58"W. This si a very tall cage or some kind of containment area.

It looks like something is in there, so maybe it's a dog run?
