It's probably not much bigger than that now.

Isn't that the same T-34 Mentor that's in the previous post? But if.so,
that's a Bonanza on the right, not a Cessna. What's going on?

Using Google Earth to look at it, appears the only thing different
is there are two new hangers behind the angled one which is now
much smaller ( like one plane width).. .
and the parking apron is larger..

Not much changes in Poplar Bluff.

Times change. All those "new" shiny planes at the airport. It looks much
more desolate now. Those were the good old days!

That is a _really_ short runway! ;-)

You guys would know better than I, but my guess is that it was shorter in
1965.
