Is the US Airforce operating again in Myrtle Beach, SC? I am on holiday with the family here and have seen an F-16 or F18 and a C-130 take off from the civilian airport here.

Probably the Air Guard using it or an exercise.  The AF rents out the airport at Roswell, NM for the Operation Roving Sands exercise, or in 1994, the Congressionally-mandated B-1B Reliablility Test.  Roswell used to be Walker AFB, postwar home of the nuke 509th BG.

It's now Whiteman AFB, MO.  Home of the B-2 Bomber.  I was a crew chief on them for four years there.
