Gliders in the Grand Canyon

: It's just a strip of dirt. That's all it has ever been. You can still land on it and take off from it, so it's operational. It doesn't need a tower or terminal or first-class lounge to be a usable airport. BULL ****. An "X" on a runway means that the controlling authority for that runway has closed it. While it might be usable in an emergency, there is no guarantee that the runway is in any condition to safely land or take off. The owner of L50, Arizona DOT, has put an "X" on the runway. It is not an operational airfield any more than a stretch of an interstate highway or an open field is an operational runway. Even a moron would know something like that. Your IQ appears to be many orders of magnitude below that of a moron. The VFR sectional charts are issued every 6 months. The Grand Canyon chart is on a "when issued" cycle. Only a stupid buttwipe like you would believe that just because it's on the unexpired chart its still there. It's on both charts. So what? You don't know **** from shinola when it comes to reading a sectional. Look at the current Las Vegas sectional published on March 15, 2007 containing data current through January 18, 2007. Tell us what the "U" inside the magenta circle means. Hmmm. Let's see. We have no name by the airport, no identifier by the airport, no frequency listed for the airport, and a "U" inside the circle. Yet you claim this represents an operational airport there. When it comes to reading a sectional, you don't know **** from shinola. Did you even bother to look at the date on the charts you are citing to claim L50 is an operational airport? The GC chart was last published in April, 2001. L50 was closed in December of 2004. Only in the vacuum between your ears would the concept of the a 6 year old chart being 100% current exist. Did you try looking up Tuweep in the A/FD, which is also a federal government publication, but is updated on 56 day cycle? Yes, but it's not listed. Of course, many airports are not listed. The Arizona Department of Transportation used to maintain Tuweep. What maintenance did a dirt strip require? You are just diplaying your ignorance again. Try filing a VFR flight plan to L50 with DUATS. Let us know if it is accepted. You can fly VFR without a flight plan. No one said you couldn't. Only you have enough of a short circuit in your neural pathways to come up with a non sequitur like this. Your statements are pure unadulterated bull ****. In other words, you disagree, which is your prerogative. No, in plain English: YOU ARE FULL OF ****. -- Marty Shapiro Silicon Rallye Inc. (remove SPAMNOT to email me) |

It I drove the entire length of the runway at Toroweep (Tuweap) a few months ago in a pickup truck. I didn't see an X. The national park service ranger stationed about a mile away says that it still gets very occasional use. |

Yet another among countless times 'you are wrong' has to be drilled into your head. Perhaps next time we shouldn't use a statement, but an actual drill. Be prepared for the cloud of methane that will be released.. |

There is a HUGE difference between a strip of dirt, and an open, Operational field. There are many strips of dirt that are open and operational fields. |
