Huh. Same day I get an email from the company that we have no mechanic in YKM for the next couple days. Coincidence?

That sounds like what happened a few years ago at SLC. A mechanic had a medical event while driving around the FBOs, hit a parked plane and kept going.

Man charged with drink-driving after taking his Jeep for a spin on an airport RUNWAY
Kenneth Mazik faces DUI and reckless endangerment charges after he drove his Jeep up and down two runways at Philadelphia International Airport
from the article:
“Commercial flights are temporarily halted. Non-commercial flights can operate, and will need to call out their position, Vera said.”

Base on the lack of foundation under the transformer, and cables strewn behind it, I'd guess that the transformer was relocated to its final resting place by the vehicle.

I HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTING!
Looking at photos, I can't even tell what kind of car it was. Something with a ICE; maybe a BMW?
“Authorities report a 19-year-old man accused of crashing his car into the power boxes and control tower Friday morning at the Yakima Airport has been transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with critical injuries.
“If the driver survives, he could potentially be facing vehicular assault charges,” Stephens said.
Stephens said they believe the driver was intoxicated and the possible vehicular assault charge stems from the serious injuries suffered by the 23-year-old Yakima man who was a passenger in the vehicle when it crashed.”

Would it involve the automobile making a left turn? That’s probably a deal breaker.

Three rights make a left, everyone in NJ knows this, what they don’t know how to do is pump their own gas.
