Default Comair Pilot Error

OK... But what I don't understand is why would they have two runways that
are the same surface width, but it is listed as a 75 ft runway they way it
is marked? It seems to me that if they are the same surface width, they
would mark both of them the same usable width.




They've stopped maintaining the surface along the perimeters as a cost saving
measure, so they then demark the interior 75 feet as useable. They are
obligated to maintain the useable portion but not the unusable portion. I would
imagine at some point in the future Lexington will end up closing the shorter
runway entirely just to be free of the expense.
