If you havnt flown into ELP, watch out and make sure that you are not
lined up on the wrong airport out there. There is an AFB that sits
real close to the airport and the runways are exactly the same, I hear
people lining up wrong all the time.

It's Biggs Army Airfield (KBIF) at Fort Bliss. Their runway 3/21 is
about 2 miles north of ELP's runway 4/22. Before the days when
everyone had a GPS on their yoke, it was fairly common for KBIF to
greet an unscheduled civilian arrival.
