Practice Diversions by military aircraft have been carried out at both Military and Civil Airfields for many years. If one was to suffer a Real Emergency whilst in the vicinity of BOH it might help to be aware of what Type of Instrument Approach would be available. BOH Air Traffic Controllers may also benefit from the experience dealing with fast moving traffic.
I would say there are not plenty of military airfields left now either.. Count them!
Finally, what makes you think that Loud Military Aircraft do not disturb anyone at military airfields. Strange idea
JET NOISE -- THE SOUND OF FREEDOM
