| Bldg 8271, and whatever the building number is for the LSTF at PAX.. Depending on what they/ we are doing that day, could be once or twice a day. Had TWO experiences at PAX.. pick-up dirver california stopped the sign nearest the Bay, and almost took an F-18 rear wheel into the cab, as it was I'd be surprised he didn't have rubber on his hood. Second, one of the guys I work with, stopped, checked high along the glide slope, saw that it was clear, and five Blues Angels almost took him out approaching the runway at wave top height. At Webster sometimes they come in REAL shallow to that end of the runway, and have had to yield several times in the three years I've been here.

Today, a co-worker told me that Pax hasn't had a flight fatality in more than 20 years. I told him about the one we just mentioned, as well as the TPS T-38 crash and the TPS formation flight crash a few years ago. It's amazing how fast people forget the sacrifices others give.

| I believe that a commercial acft once landed on station too, along time ago. Ken would probably know those stories better than I.

Here he was in his "hut" near the Cat at night, when he hears a small aircraft outside. he walks outside as the engine shuts down and the pilot walks over.. he's lost, has NO idea where he is when he saw the runway lights, he lands and taxis around for quite awhile looking for life, and gettting lost again on our runway, when he sees the lights from the cat and sees life stirring aound our shelter... he's a student pilot on his solo flight and lands on a navy base about 150 miles South of where he is supposed to be, what was interesting.. No lights, no sirens, nothing but dead silence.. co-worker explains to him he two choices, take back off and head north since nobody knows he's here anyways, or call flight ops tell them the situation and let the chips fall where they may. Well they called flight ops, and I think it was 3 or 4 days later when he got to take off again WITH his flight instructor.
