Interesting place...have made several tech stops there, the last some years ago in February. Runway center 90 feet sanded and very slippery on the east end. After departing, mentioned same to an inbound USAF C141 and his reply was..."thats OK, we land here al lot, slippery not a problem...".
After making the last position report to the tower, the controller responded.....change to HF, and by the way the C141 slid off the east end".
