For some reason I got to thinking about the former Dow Air Force Base, in Bangor, Maine. It was deactivated years ago and is now Bangor International Airport, although there is still an ANG unit based there that shares the runway with the commercial airport. As an Air Force base it had three runways, in a triangular layout. Now it just has one runway.
But ... what a runway! Apparently it's the second longest runway on the east coast, and Bangor International Airport is [was] an alternate landing facility for the space shuttle. Can you imaging the hullabaloo if a space shuttle had landed at Bangor, Maine?
Media: "Where? Where IS that?"
