I've always thought so. We, OTOH, would rather have a buncha' guys walk the runway looking for stuff to pick up. I think it's the NIH syndrome.

Very much enjoyable viewing; thanks

Could you imagine a F-15 landing or taking off of a dirt road or a field? The Russians figured a MiG-29 ought to be able to.

Last two and I will walk away from this thread.

BTW, there were a TON of things to make dissapear in this shot.

Trust us, we dont mind pics of this beauty. Post 'em if ya got 'em!

Ok, twist my arm.

OMG awesome series. So many great shots!

I saw a pic of one of their runways once. It had weeds 3' tall growing out of it.
In at least one of the Scandinavian countries they land on roads all the time.

It's Sweden - it's been a part of their defence strategy for decades. Fighters need to be able to land on motorways in case of war...

This is very cool. I want one too lol

The urban myth is our interstate highways have designated areas which can substitute as runways. At least as originally planned. but apparently not http://community.disco​very.com …/9551919888/m/2​5919833001

Not meaning to hijack your great shots, here is an in flight video from the '29:
