I do not think you could fit 10,000 within the city limits, unless it is like Stanaslaw, who flew the first Imperial Polish Airways airliner into JFK from Poland. Remember him? Got excited when he saw the runway and how short it was. Asked his copilot for full flaps, instant reversal of the engines upon touchdown, and help with the brakes. After landing, he wiped his forehead of sweat, said to Wladimir (copilot), I have never seen such a short runway (as the jetliner had its nose wheel just inches from the end of the runway). The copilot looked around and exclaimed "but it sure is wide". 73, lh On 2/5/2012 3:11 AM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
The place says they'd expect 10,000 people to show up.
