Wife and I were returning to Indianapolis after the Reno Air Races and stopped at Wendover. Coming from the west, because of terrain, you need to quickly lose 5000 feet to land.
I called on 122.8 and did a upwind entry for left traffic, turning final the wife said you're landing at an Air Force Base. There was mostly vintage fighters on the ramp and one F16, guarded by gun wielding military guards ( the only real active military plane there). The line crew assured the wife Wendover was no longer an active air base.
Seems the F16 had made an emergency landing there, while streaming flaming parts out the rear; they had to tow him off of the runway. The line crew said that happened once or twice a month!
