DAVIDSTRAKA Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Did you know that KGGG was a back up landing strip for the space shuttle? I also spent a night in Longview after I bought my C-172 and was flying it back to Michigan. Barely made it off a 10,000 foot runway :mad: Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael I’m not sure what was up with that MD. Maybe I was carrying a full load of lead! Yes, I do miss the freedom of having my own plane. There is a reason for everything I guess.

plainsman Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Nice shots and good story. KGGG is about 25 miles from where I live. We retired down here from KOMA about 5 years ago. I miss the snow, but I don't miss the wind.
