Anyone ever land an airliner at Detroit City airport?
4999 ft. long and a cemetery at each end of the runway?

Nope, just a Beech 18 -- no sweat there. I have been to the old Sault
Ste. Marie in CV-580's -- about the same length, but no sweat in the
Convair; DC-9's at MDW, LGA, and DCA; 757's at LGA and DCA -- always
enjoyed the extra fun.


One of the Major's used to fly into City back a few years ago.
Guess which one.

Let's see -- if you mean one of the majors that still exist (4) it must
have been NCA/REP/NWA (pick the appropriate era), or it could have been
US Air, back when they were trying to develop some DET-CLE business.
