Civil/military airfields

I find it very hard so see the problems with combined military & civil airfields, it's quite common in other parts of the world, I often stopped to refuel my light aircraft in Tours in the middle of France and found myself in the circuit with French military fast jets.

With good airmanship and an open mind to operational procedures most types of aircraft operations can be safely integrated, those who have problems with this are usually those who have very little experience outside one very narrow branch of aviation.

Civil/military airfields can result in cost savings a for all and should be considered as a way to make the defence budget go further.
