I will perhaps receive a fair amount of derision for this, but once I had left the service, I was asked what differences I had noticed between civil operation and military.
Apart from the obvious ones such as not being TacEvaled in my airline, or the risk of being shot down, it seemed to me that every time my commercial aeroplane moved it was in the hope of making money. Contrast that with a military aeroplane that costs money to fly.
So my point is, that if you give this decision to the local military commander ask yourself what is in it for him to ‘put his head above the parapet’ and assume the risk?
If there is no accident, then normal operations continue and no one notices. If there is an accident the chances are that his career is finished.
The answer maybe is to take the airfield and make it dual operations. A civil authority to oversee the civil aspect and issue wind limits as at Madeira, and let the military issue their own wind limits.
