Interesting that the airport is "Open to the public" but has "- RSTD:
OFFL BUS ONLY. FOR PPR FONE C321-867-2100. AFLD UNATTENDED HOL." in the
Remarks section.

That actually brings up an interesting point. Does anyone know what
coordination needs to happen with the FAA? Are they even involved other than
clearing the airspace?

I sure would like to have a type certificate for a space shuttle!
Their IFR flight plan must be bizarre.



Actually, the SMS does not have a type cert. It's officially
designated a rocket, not an aircraft. I got curious about this many
years ago and called Canaveral and talked with the head of air ops.
Delightful gentleman who graciously explained it during a lengthy
conversation.

There's more details for TTS (Titusville, which is the name for
NASA Shuttle Landing Facility) at

Then there's Patrick AFB at KXMR.
