Being as poor as they are, probably flying as a passenger is something they can only dream of. But it is in those dreams where the future of any human endeavor lays. But all these humble people can do, is try to peek from across the street, over the wall, and wonder at those big machines taking off and landing. No one has told them that as citizens of the country, they can walk inside the terminal and look at all the activity from a closer distance. Military Air Bases are also strict in their measures, and as I said before, for a good reason.
Airports are a dangerous place.
People get killed if they are not careful. Any possible opponent that is worth its salt, will know more about the air force or naval base, their equipment and capabilities, their layout, etc. Espionage is not dead, and they have the means to achieve their goals. Some airports have seen the light, and have created spots around the fences or the walls, where those interested can peek at the airport. There is a playground for the kiddies, it has a small version of the runway, painted with all the markings.
