Back during the Eisenhower administration when the Interstate Highway system was mandated, the rule was that in each ten mile stretch, there had to be at least one straight mile of highway (where possible). This put thousands of 5000 foot runways all around the country for use by the military in the event of war with the USSR (for you young ones out there, our main potential foe during the Cold War). Of course, one hopes they never has to make use of such thoughtfulness, but it's nice to know. Dan Schaefer
