Not military (anymore), but Salina Kansas airport is 13337 ft long.
Used to be Schilling AFB, rumor has it the runway was extended to
support B-70 ops until the program was canceled and the base was
closed and turned over to the city.

Many old SAC B-52 runways are 13,000ish by 300' wide. Thats a lot of concrete.

I have landed at Salina Kansas before, Flowers Aviation has some rather
attractive females working there.

I remember seeing a Connie there at the airport, couldnt tell if it was
airworthy or not, also saw a Luftwaffe Tornado.
