Yep. And did you know that every 5 miles on the interstate highway system there has to be at least on stretch of road that is straight for 1 mile. This was so aircraft could use the highway as an emergency landing strip.

I know that the Germans had designed their autobahns to handle aircraft as early as WWII but I didn’t know that we had done something similar.
The Germans were parking their planes under overpasses to hide them from the USAAF and then wheeling them out and taking off from the autobahn.
