Default RE: Gidelines for Paved runway, width, thickness, material

At my field we did crushed rock 6" then 2-3" of asphault. We have 2 runways one is 30'x300 and the one us Jet guys use is 30'x400' granted it is small and tight , but with 20 yrs of practice it works just fine ( like a carrier deck).
If I remember correct the last time we retopped it it was about $1000.00 per 30'x100 linear ft.

When we go to shows, it amazes me how much runway some of the guys use. If I could have it my way I would say 40'-50' wide and 600'-700' length.
