If you're in the military you can drive a van onto a runway. At least at Sea-Tac.

Back in 1994 during a vacation in Virginia Beach, my family and I decided to visit a military base. (Each day we watched the huge cargo planes and jets fly over the beach and hotel...we asked around and were told about the base.) My son was 8years old at the time and he enjoyed seeing them so we wanted to give him a closer look. We drove right onto the base, didn't even get stopped at the entry. It wasn't until we were finished shopping at their stores and heading back to the parking lot were we stopped...and told we weren't supposed to be there. Good thing we were just tourists!
