Gene, O My Yes,,,,Robert Gray Army Airfield with that runway that is almost 2 miles long. Fully loaded C-5 Galaxys take off with no problems at all. What you are talking about are the "Holes" Or "the Tunnels". Yes, I am full aware of its existance, and their original intent. My Daddy was a Civil Service employee from 1952 to 1978 At the Electric Shop. Back while Gray Base was still a "Classified facility" up till the late 60s early 70s.

Pistons the size of 30 gal barrels! The armature was about 10 feet in diameter.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
