I dunno about that. There isn't a straight stretch of road or highway in all the mountainous areas of Switzerland, it seems to me. And I've been on 'em, on those Postal Bus routes. It'd be a mighty short-field technique taking off from one of those roads! You didn't look closely enough! The Swiss autobahns were buitl as runways. They even had (probably still have) pop-up barriers so the automobile traffic won't get tangled with the jet interceptors. (Actually, it was on a Swiss bus, coming down from Arolla in 1974, that I saw the hangar doors. Don't recall where the runway was in that case, since I wasn't on the autobahn.) all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! blog www.vivabush.org
