Yes it would be Webster OLF, St Inigoes, MD, [KNUI] a satellite field for Pax River. UAVs were tested at Webster. It is 9.7 miles almost due south of Pax River.

AirNav: KNUI - Webster Naval Outlying Field

Slacker has declared OPEN HOUSE.

Both the place suggested above are a long, long way from this place. They are also roughly 1,000 kms from the sea, whereas the end of the runway here is less than that by a factor of 500.

No, lot further north east (but not quite as far as Tivat).

Thanks, Flap...

And what an interesting strip. Does anyone know the full history of how the runway dimensions come to be as they are?

Anyhow, I don't have anything to hand (though will be taking the camera with me more frequently!), so...

OPEN HOUSE!
