Which airport in the US has 8 runways... The national centerline champion is, well, unique. All eight runways are 1800 by 150 feet. And the airport is completely symetrical around four axis. It is owned by the Navy, in Florida: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=N30%C 2%B037'00%22+W087%C2%B008'00%22&ie=UTF8&ll=30.6253 94,-87.139521&spn=0.026958,0.046349&t=h&z=15&om=1 (No doubt you'll need to reassemble the above link to make it work.) The airport with "only" seven runways is DFW, with three of them at 13400' in length.

The squares sure look like helipads and there's three helos flyin in that image. -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...aring/200801/1

One runway with two landing directions = 1 runway in their statistics. If each direction was counted separately they would all be even numbers. So the airport with 8 runways has up to 16 landing directions, but 8 bits of solid stuff on the ground.
