Hey, I've flown there (York). It's got a nice long 5,280 foot runway. Know why it's 5,280 feet?

It used to be a drag strip.

Kind of cool, huh?

Yeah! It is a nice little airport. I usually stop there on my way to Lancaster, PA or on the way back just for fun.

The runway is quite long, esp for a 172 which makes it even more embarassing to rush and porpoise on a landing. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
