Designated Emergency Landing for US Space Shuttle
🔗 Sun, 22 Jul 2007
— @Bonnie at Ndjili International Airport, Democratic Republic of the Congo Reply
According to an article in Vanity Fair's July 2007 issue ("Congo from the Cockpit" by pilot/writer William Langewiesche) the single, 15,420-foot runway, is designated by the US as an emergency landing strip for the space shuttle. According to Langewiesche, the ramp is crowded with "decrepit jets that are too fragile for the country's dirt strips, but can manage the paved runways of eastern and southern Congo." Interesting article to read.
