    Run and Roam the Runway

    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

    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.
