## Description

The white radomes east of Denver — locals call them the golf balls — mark Buckley Space Force Base, where infrared satellites are flown to detect missile launches worldwide. Aurora's base also hosts Colorado Air National Guard F-16s. Civil aviation and cargo have no access; commercial freight for the area clears through DEN, a short drive north.
