OK, This sounded a little strange to me, but during lunch today with some co-workers, someone asked if I knew of some rules regarding interstate construction. They had heard a bit of trivia that claimed that an interstate highway must have sections that are straight, level, and long enough for a plane to land(at least 1 mile they thought.) I had never heard of such and was wondering if anyone here knows what they were talking about? I have heard something similar. Recall that the interstates were sold to Congress in the 1950s as the National Defense Highway system. I believe it was argued that they could be used to disperse the SAC fleet in time of war. I have no reference to this; it's just something I recall. -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net In Search of Lost Time: www.readingproust.com
