They effectively have 5 runways during show week. Plus, they have 2 traffic patterns, slow movers @ 800 and fast movers @ 1200, IIRC.

They have “short “ and “long” designations on both main runways (ie. land 27 short or 27 long) and use the taxiway as a runway sometimes.

It isn’t for the faint of heart, but if one is a competent pilot, they should have no problems.

Since it is only a 3.5 hr drive for me, I don't need to take the risk. Admittedly, though, this F16 pilot should be competent enough to land on a, what, 7000' -ish runway? He was just not paying attention.

Have you seen this video? Evidently their ATCs are not brilliant, although what can you expect when they work for the government.
