This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

An "airport neighbourhood" where people can store their planes in their yard and taxi directly to the runway (lemmy.ml)

I reckon a C130 could use it actually. The US Navy landed one on a carrier, which is probably shorter then this runway.

Edit: yes, USS Nimitz is 1/3 the length of this runway. C130 could land and take-off there with no issues.
