		On 16 October 1950, arrangements were made by Lt. Albert of HAFB that Northrup Aircraft pilots engaged in frequent flying of B-45 and QF-80 aircraft in the Holloman vicinity would report all observations of aerial phenomena.
		This opinion is prompted partly by the fruitless expenditure during the past year, the uncertainty of existence of unexplainable aerial objects, and by the inactive position currently taken by Holloman AFB as indicated by the "stand-by status" of the project.
		The arrangements by HAFB for continued vigilance by Land-Air, the weather station as well as the briefing of pilots on the problem in part relieves the need for a systematic instrumentation program.

	Holloman 2005 highlights
		After a break of several years, in April of 2005 a one-day airshow was held at Holloman air force base in southern New Mexico.
		Not only is this the home base for America’s only F-117 Nighthawk “stealth fighter” squadrons and their attendant T-38 training aircraft, it’s also home to a number of QF-4E Phantom II drones, which do their work on the nearby White Sands missile range.
		However here they were allowed to do their thing, and although I’ve seen plenty of German and British Tornadoes flying at the 2002 Royal International Air Tattoo in the UK, this was the only time I’ve seen a formation of them, and it even included a simulated “buddy refueling” of one Tornado by another.
