Ah Tawa. I don't think any other town can lay claim to having quite so many churches. I live in Linden just north of Tawa so can vouch for its boring-ness

Good points about its current state, currently 34 has got 130m "starter EXTN" at the north end, I know this is only for takeoff but is this something that could form part of a RESA? Is it really deemed unsafe as it is right now? What actual useful runway length would they get out of 300m extension?

On the subject, I've noted those ramp shaped objects at the end of 34, are these designed to launch an overrunning aircraft over SH1 /trolley bus wires to a graceful ditching in Evans Bay?
