We still have NAS Key West, 90 miles from Cuba... They have power behind them and could be there in 10 minutes!

Present day they have:

Tenant Commands

Fighter Squadron Composite 111 (VFC-111) Sun Downers
Strike Fighter Squadron 106 (VFA-106) Gladiators, Detachment Key West
Joint Interagency Task Force South
U.S. Army Special Forces Underwater Operations School (SFUWO)
U.S. Coast Guard Sector Key West
Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Atlantic Targets and Marine Operations (ATMO) Detachment Key West
