[net.columbia] Shuttle Landing Sites

marcum@rhino.UUCP (Alan M. Marcum) (12/20/84)

At Honolulu International (HNL), a few years ago, a new runway
was built.  This runway, called the Reef Runway (8R/26L, I think),
is there specifically as a shuttle alternate landing site.  If I
recall correctly, it's about 12000 feet long.  I also recall that
JFK, among others, can handle an emergency shuttle landing.
