The following coordinate fixes are needed for Monthan AFB. It looks like the coordinates are inputted correctly however the link takes the user to an Eastern coordinate rather than West.

Decades ago I was a passenger at an airport and I happened to strike up a conversation with another passenger who was much older than I was. I told him I was in the Air Force and he told me he used to be in the Army Air Corps and was in charge of construction of the runway at Davis Monthan (it was named something different back then.) The men were asking him how thick to pour the concrete and he didn't know, so he said "aw hell, pour it two feet thick!" And that is why we have two foot thick concrete runways at Davis Monthan AFB. I'd love for somebody to corroborate this story, but I am afraid that the man that I talked to all those decades ago has passed away. =( 鈥 Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.103.192.57 ( talk) 00:47, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
In case someone wants to start updating this page with this sort of thing, it has been announced as a location in Wasteland 2 (though evolved a hundred years or so into the city of "Damonta" (DAvis MONThAn). 173.117.5.244 ( talk) 02:11, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to create a wiki page? Capheli ( talk) 19:36, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

This base figures in a UFO story from 1997, I've just learned. It was the origin of training flights called Operation Snowbird that were responsible for a mass sighting of mysterious lights in the sky on March 13, 1997. The incident came to be known as "Phoenix Lights." Somebody should research it and update the History section accordingly. Cpacker666 ( talk) 02:06, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
