thread_title: Unsourced Trivia

message: The last update added tenant- and share-croppers (no source given).  Offhand, I'd expect that type of mix to be less prevalent in a relatively small area such as being discussed.  Also, the sentence refers to (implying they're names of farms) Mattapony, Susquehanna which are names for places elsewhere in Maryland. Tedickey (talk) 18:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All of this description comes straight out of the Pax River history cited in the references by the Pax River offices. I know - I entered it. Mark Sublette (talk) 02:54, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

text: well, then rather than simply remove the tag for this discussion, it would be nice if you provided a footnote indicating where in the (unavailable?) reference which you've cited the information appears. By the way, google finds the title dated 1999 by Linda Drew, not "circa 2000", however the reader cannot verify that this is the same reference that you used.

replies: text: I'll try to footnote the pages when I turn up the brochure again - I picked up at the Air Station.  The date and author were based on my best estimation as neither was printed in the document - I surmised the printing date based on the programs mentioned and the aircraft depicted.     Right now I am a tad preocuupied - a pipe burst and put 3 feet of water in my basement...  Mark Sublette (talk) 17:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (February 2018) 

message: This source does not list all PAX Naval Air Base associated air crashes. For example, I was living south of the base when a fighter jet went down in a wooded area within a few miles of me in the summer of 1981 or 1982. The pilot was reported to have sacrificed himself in order to avoid crashing into residential homes. This crash is not listed in the linked source.
Also, the source lists crashes of planes that were bound for PAX River. However in 1966 I, along with my father, witnessed a midair collision between two fighter jets that were headed to PAX River NAS. This double crash is not listed in the source either. 
If anyone has time at some point, perhaps these crashes (and others not listed in the linked source) can be found elsewhere online.
