Is that a Wichita lineman there on the line...?,or is it all Misserry...?


`Bullseye is Col.JJ Jabarra....`capiche?

Gordy 29th Nov 2011 22:04

Nope---Not in Kansas.... next state over.... The airport is home of the first "Glasphalt Runway".

sycamore 29th Nov 2011 22:26

Gordy,can see you need re-edificating,after living in `Spamland`; Misserry=Missouri. Bullseye = ref.point...Didn`t they teach you anything on the NFTCU...????
Nevertheless ,it must be Rolla,MO..
Anyway does it work ,as advertised..?

OPEN House if correct..

Lordflasheart 29th Nov 2011 22:36

re glassphalt
 
Sycamore - Apparently not - from Rolla Downtown Airport details -

RW 9/27 - 3028 x 38 ft -
FAA info at 20 Oct 2011 - "GLASSPHALT (sic) COATING DETEORATING (sic) AND GLASS CHIPS ARE BECOMING LOOSE. TALL WEEDS ON RY."

Perhaps from lack of movements/revenue - avg - 24 per month

LFH

Gordy 29th Nov 2011 22:37

Ha, yep....I got the "missery" bit---you have no idea: I spend 3 months there every year on fire contract.

Yes it is Rolla, and the "glassphalt" does kind of work as advertised. It really cuts you up when you fall off a bike wearing shorts though... :ouch::ouch: The airport has an average of one plane every two weeks....we have "sailboat" races with sheets and office chairs on wheels down the runway occasionally to break the boredom in between training sessions....here is that lovely airport:

Something to keep the thread moving -
last time I posted 'jindabyne' spotted something about my photobucket -
I was not able to find out if there was anything wrong with the way I saved the image - let's see if the same thing happens with this

Willow Run?

OH if correct.

saislor 2nd Dec 2011 00:44

I do not think you can see that much water from Willow Run. Looks like Michigan, though. Oscoda-Wurtsmith?

OH if correct.

Gordy 2nd Dec 2011 04:26

It is Oscoda-Wurtsmith, an old military base. I was up there working with the Medewin Hotshot crew while they trained new firefighters to call in water drops...



saislor... over to you or OH as you suggested...

descol 3rd Dec 2011 15:09
