Default Re: Leesburg International Airport

Travolta's is a private strip that can handle a B-707 (his private aircraft painted like Quantas). That's where a BMW was run off the end at high speed killing its youthful occupants (sudden impact with a tree). Runway is longer than Leesburg which as Tal noted is 5000 feet. Need at least 7000 feet preferably 8000 feet for the larger equipment.
