There is.And we had our own Broken Arrow incident. Apparently there is a spot on the grounds where the debris was buried.
I spent sooo much of my allowance on models... the B58 Hustler was one of my all-time favorites. It was like an alien spaceship when I was a kid.

The B-58 was my favorite too. You may ask why? Because my Mom's youngest brother was a navigator in one. Besides it looked just damn fast standing still.
Just before Bunker Hill changed names, Uncle Paul and his crew flew to BH for the airshow there. We met him and his crew and got, I guess, what I would call the VIP tour. I got to sit on the front seat of the Hustler and I also got to sit in the pilot's seat of a B-52 that came in for the show. Pretty exciting for a 7–8-year-old kid.
My Uncle Paul was the navigator. I sat in his seat too, plus got to wear his helmet. For several years after that I would make drawings of converting the B-58 and the B-52 into crop dusters. I would send my ideas to Uncle Paul, but I suspect they never made it to General LeMay's desk.Wow ! .... that would be exciting for this 70 year old kid ! {thumbs-up}
You never know. LeMay may have enjoyed them.My Uncle Paul was the navigator. I sat in his seat too, plus got to wear his helmet.

So the guy known to history... as "Bombs Away LeMay"... who commanded 8th AF out of England when they fire-bombed Germany... and then commanded 21st Air Force in the Pacific when they fire-bombed Tokyo... killing 100K... and then nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki... and made the C in SAC stand for Cult... would like crop-dusters...You never know. LeMay may have enjoyed them.
Just like I wasn't really a fan of Adm. Rickover.not a fan of Curtis LeMay
WTF?
