What I think your seeing as a taxi way is probably a service road. If its not almost perfectly straight, it's not a taxi way.

My dad picked up pieces of the famous B-52 crash here in 1983.

I'm talking about the concrete mini-runway that extends to the right at about a 45 degree angle from the runway. Here's a map of what I am talking about.

Not sure exactly, could be a staging area for scrambling aircraft. I'll check with my dad, see if it was there in '83 and if he knows what its for.

Heh, I did't get a hold of my dad, but I did find looking here that this little taxi way area is infact a staging area for aircraft needing to get into the air fast. Didn't realize it would have been that easy XD
