- The two planes on the side of the big hangar near segmented circle(C172 on-6/5/77),were both in landing accidents.This happened often on the short runway,especially in the summer. If you learned to fly at JAQ on the short runway,you learned well. - by S B J

- Soon after runway realinement in 1979. Enjoyed the smell of the fresh cut wood from the (now closed) near by sawmill . Made my frist solo landing on the short runway..Longer runway helped prevent accidents like a PA24 on 5-8-74 and a C210 on 9-4-73. - by S B J
