now I ask you, is 60' not wide enough?????
Our hardpacked runway started out around 12 years ago roughly 50 x 500 and a lot of folks would run off the ends or land in the rough (which is not that rough) off the far edge. Gradually over the years we would just keep adding a little on the ends and the far edge. Last time I ran the surveyors wheel it is now over 900' by 100' and a second runway at around 30 degrees declination to the main and its 700', all nicely packed hard pan and smooth. Well gues what just as many people still running off the end and in the rough on the far edge, no change. You cannot build to the lowest common denominator, Its normally not finacially viable.
