Really ugly WX again limiting activity.

275.80:  REDEYE-11, flight of 2, (F-16, Buckley), cleared to Cheyenne MOA.
372.20:  DILLON-1, (C-21A, CO-ANG), calling Peterson Dispatch.
291.675: REDEYE-11, flight of 2, (F-16, Buckley), land. On landing, REDEYE-12 
locked up his right main gear wheel and scattered pieces of tire/wheel all 
over the runway. Came to a halt leaking hydraulic fluid from every pore, so 
runway had to be closed. 
275.80:  RAIDER-93, (F/A-18, VFA-125, Lemoore), requesting clearance. 
Informed runway would be closed for at least 1 hour, so decided to cancel the whole 
thing.
239.025: TIGRE-02, flight of 2, (F-16, AZ-ANG), divert Colorado Springs due 
to emergency at Buckley.
121.60:  PAT-747, (C-26B, Buckley), runway back open, so cleared to Rapid 
City. Return later.
121.00:  REACH 5367, (C-130, Little Rock), land.
372.20:  JOSA-897, (C-21A), takeoff Colorado Springs enroute Offutt.
349.20:  COAST GUARD 1714, (HC-130H), request info on convective SIGMETs 
along flight route Denver-Kansas City-St Louis-Falmouth (KY)- Richmond (VA). ((Had 
this guy subord to Barbers Point at one time. Don't know if that is still 
true.))
319.00:  SKULL-21, flight of 2, (B-52H, Barksdale), with Denver Center. Sez 
will take Block 21-230 if that will help Denver. Trying to decide if they need 
higher to conserve fuel in case of bad WX at Barksdale. Finally decide on 
Block 27-280. Doing A/A on  228.45; which is  Buckley Metro freq. Buckley wants to 
know what is going on with that. So to make it legit, they ask for Barksdale 
WX; then continue jabbering on freq.
372.20:  SMOKY-12, (C-21A, Peterson), takeoff Colorado Springs.
