The runway is effectively 300' wide


Really? Plates say 150.


When the USAF owned it the runways were 300' wide. Now they're 150' wide
with 75' paved shoulders. Half the pavement to maintain and plow that way.
At Kincheloe/Chippewa County they abandoned the south mile or so of runway
completely and reduced the width of the rest to 200'.


We ended up with one of their snow plows, or rather blowers. The
thing can take the snow off the runway and put it over the taxiways.
I think we've only had one major snow storm since then.

Did the blower blow so hard that it blew all the storms away? :-)
