Geocache Description:

Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, is home to the 366th Fighter Wing and the Air Warfare Battlelab. Located approximately eight miles southwest of the city of Mountain Home, the base's primary mission is to conduct combat and peacekeeping operations around the world, combine technology and innovation to maximize combat potency and foster an environment that promotes integration of all facets of wing operations.

The cache is not at the above coordinates. You must solve the crossword first then select the emphasized letters and plug their numeric equivalents into the coordinates formula. This will be easy for those familiar with Air Force/military/aviation terms, for the rest of us there is always google.

Hope you have fun with this.
