The second plane was forced down at Bergstrom, AFB in Austin, TX

There is no Bergstrom AFB, although there was until around 1990 or so. Now the runways are part of the new Austin-Bergstrum Int'l Airport. AFAIK, no military presence there at all, not even Guard or Reserve (It was a reserve only base for many years, flew fighter aircraft, but the squardon, part of the 301st TFW IIRC, was eliminated when the F-4 Phantoms went away. The other Squadron (and the Wing) converted to F-16s at Carswell AFB, (Now JRB NAS Ft. Worth).

Thanks for the update. I was listening to three tv's and trying to take note at the same time. I heard Bergstrom and I lived up in Austin years ago and assumed they were talking about the old AFB.

They forced that plane down with three Mexican Nationals and a later search turned up 108lbs. of pot.
