The site counted with an airport and the news of the establishment of the base generated enthusiasm among the local people. Also, it was located sufficiently to the north so the balloons in summer will not cross the Mexican border (a prohibition exists to fly 50 miles from the limit) and in winter flying towards the east, did not approach the populated zones of the Gulf of Mexico.
Asimismo, se encontraba lo suficientemente al norte como para que los globos lanzados en verano no llegaran a la frontera mexicana (donde existe una prohibición de volar a 50 millas del limite) y los lanzados en invierno volando hacia el este, no se acercaran al Golfo de México.
