What is the longest runway in the game?

Probably either Edwards AFB (KEDW), or the Space Shuttle Landing Fac. in Florida. Strikes me as being X52 or somthing like that.

Istres in France is about 15 or 16000ft too...

Area 51, it's a freeware download.

After a quick Google the answer appears to be:

The largest commercial runway in the world:
Ulyanovsk-Vostochny International Airport (Russia) at 16,404ft. This airport can be found in FS9 under Vostochny

Others say that longest runway is Groom Lake (Area 51!)... which is reported to be a basic 12,750 feet of paved area. However if you include under and overshoot areas it is reported to be between 27,000 feet to 36,000 feet long. But being area 51, I think the jury is still out on that one.

Groom lake doesnt count because "officially" it doesnt exsist

Actually I was watching a show on the History Channel saying that the government is slowly declassifying Area 51 and Groom.

But the only way to get it in the game is an addon

The aliens packed up and went home I guess...I was messing around with modifying Al Asad for some C-17 flights into the sandbox...12K plus...surprised to see that as stock in FS

Why does Area 51 need such a long runway, don't flying saucers land verticaly? ;)
