I was stationed at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico 1978 - 1983.
http://www.kirtland.af.mil/ I worked at the Base Weather Station as a Weather Equipment Technician.
Don't know what year this happened. It was the hottest day of the year, 107°F in the afternoon.
An F-105 Thunderchief was being ferried from its home base going into retirement at the aircraft boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona. This fighters last mission had him stop at Kirtland for fuel or pilot rest.
Somehow the hot temperature at the fighter planes' take off time didn't get considered for his power settings roll distance, etc. The Albuquerque East-West runway was long enough for big or heavy planes. So the runway length wasn't a restricting factor. The airport altitude may have been higher than the pilot considered in his calculations. At 5355 feet in Albuquerque/Kirtland AFB, the air is thinner and more thrust or roll distance is needed to get rotate airspeed.
The F-105 began a normal takeoff roll toward the east. At some point the pilot knew he wasn't going to get airborne before the asphalt ended. He cut power and used up the overrun, and he engaged the barrier at the end of the overrun.
The pilot wasn't hurt. The F-105 wasn't damaged by the barrier. The Thunderchief was parked on the Kirtland ramp for a long time. Eventually it was configured for display and taken to the Atomic Museum which was then on Wyoming Blvd of Kirtland East.
The Nuclear Museum has since moved to Eubank Blvd and the F-105 never flew from Albuquerque.
