Accidents and incidents
- On August 3, 1950 a United States Air Force Douglas C-47D was destroyed by fire after a take-off related accident. All 5 occupants survived the crash and subsequent fire.
- On October 2, 2006 a United States Air Force Learjet C-21A was on a training mission flying a simulated approach to runway 24 when the planes speed unexpectedly dropped and called out "speed" two times. The pilot pulled back the number one engine throttle but the plane began to roll steeply to the right and struck the pavement before proceeding to skid through a grass infield and then across another runway before coming to a stop. Both occupants survived but were also determined to be at fault for the crash.
