All clear, but there is no explanation as to what happened.

About 60 miles or so. I was stationed there in the early '90s.

At TIA? Wonder why D-M AFB was closed, then...?
Not emergency personnel movement, TIA has that covered...
Not controlling press access if the accident was Az ANG at TIA...(they fly the F-16s out of TIA)
Curiosity is piqued; will keep an eye on this.

Never mind, probably totally unrelated. Small (GA) airplane crashed. It’s too windy...

I wonder if there was a microburst at the base that confused everybody. The wind was near-tornadic here in Centex for 16hrs non-stop yesterday, it felt and looked like never-ending small microbursts the way the trees were swirling.
