Wow that was a good laugh. Anyway this reminds me of a couple stories I read where people actually did land at the base. In one a lady and her drunk pilot boyfriend where flying from Reno to Vegas when he got lost, was low on fuel, saw the runway, and landed. They were met by security, and girlfriend berated him for his stupidity. In the other story a RAF exchange pilot named Jock Heron was experiencing problems and was given permission to land there. For some reason he was allowed to see an aircraft which was a "forerunner to the SR-71."

My source of information on these is a book called Lockheed Blackbird: Beyond the Secret Missions, by Paul Crickmore, on pages 55-56.
