Yesterday, an F-16 crashed at the Ogden Airport.
Apparently, the plane overshot the runway because of a brake problem. It landed fine, but as it went off the end of the runway, it somehow smashed up the nose of the plane. Something was going on at the base, and so the jets were diverted to the nearby Ogden Hinckley Airport. As we went out to run an errand, we drove by. The other 7 jets appear to be grounded for the time because even today, they are still lined up close to the road.
We see these jets flying overhead on almost a daily basis, but we rarely see them up close, because you can't get near the runway for the base (at least not that I know of). It really is an impressive and rare sight.

Pretty cool. My kids would love seeing jets on a daily basis. Someday I want to take them to the museum down there.
