• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

No, it's not a story about security breaches and stowaways...

CYYC (Calgary International) is nearing completion of the new runway (17L/35R)

and is holding a couple of events for the public.

They are offering 10,000 people the opportunity to spend the day walking, roaming the 14,000 ft X 200 ft chunk of concrete (including a/c displays - rumours are of a 787 and a DC-3 among others)

Now this is a way to get people interested in aviation and have memorable experience!

yes, I have tickets :adoration:
 
While stationed at NAS Lemoore, we would periodically have to FOD walk the runways which are 13,500 feet long (each). There were no aircraft displays though... Sounds like fun.
