KLEX is built up on a hill top... lots of optical Illusions when landing 22... including the longitudinal turtle-back in the runway surface...

If I recall... isn't Versailles road on the north field boundary?

Called my friends in Versailles. Brad not on that flight. Prayers up for those who were. Lord have mercy on them all.

Yes Versailles Road runs WNW across the top of the airport, just a few feet from the actual end of the runway. I guess planes taking off and landing across a highway is nothing unique, but it used to startle me how low they came across Versailles Road...
