Its amazing to me that they actually have a commercial airport in proximity of a military base where training is taking place. I just read that they tried to get the airport moved years ago


Yumas airport is part of MCAS Yuma. Military aircraft end up at civilian airports daily for many reasons.

The helo is upside down in the river. The plane fuselage is in two pieces also in the river.

One of my assignments was on the NAOC. Pretty neat assignment that's about the only thing I can say.


Any insight on Area 51 that you can share:)?
Thank you for your service. I bet that assignment was fun!

Stories like that are gut-wrenching. Hopefully his wife survived but there's also several others not interviewed that are praying for that same outcome. Situation just sucks and it's sad.

I read they have been wanting to close it but Congress refuses because they don't want to travel and fly out of Dulles
