We were at the old emergency airstrip southeast of town. It is not on the mesa, and is used today as a drag strip and model airplane model port. I understand that some use it for emergency landing practice, and that a light aircraft will land there from time to time. It is in really good shape, except that the east end has a fence down the middle of it and there is a line of telephone poles along one side. There is still plenty of room for us little guys.

Deb, Do you remember the time when it went overhead at Ivins? I think Brent is right about the the shuttle breaking up even before you folks started watching it. Compare your time to the event times mentioned on the news service websites. Your observations may be valuable. Worth noting on paper.
Brent, were you at the old Huricane airfield? Site of the old rocket sled track and ejections seat test facility? On the mesa? What is the field like there?
