Default Darwin

Just got this email, will try to find out what the width of the runway
is. It's good news for those of us that sometimes cross Death Valley
to get to the Sierra or Inyos.

Jim,
We recently lengthened and widened the Darwin airport (about 40
miles east of lone pine). It is now a good land out strip for glider
pilots. These are the coordinates wikipedia gives for the town;
36°16′05″N 117°35′30″W. The runway is approximately 2000' long and
pretty wide. Let people in the sport know if you could. Thanks.

-Judd
