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

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.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

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

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