What needs nearly a mile long runway?


A mile long runway isn’t really that long.

Depends on what’s landing there.

Especially in “high and hot” desert conditions. Even large private Biz Jets would have problems operating from a strip that short, much of the time.

I tend to agree, that’s likely a Drone/Dirigible base.
