The perfect spotters location??

Road runway, F-16's, F-5's, E2-C's . . .

I would love it . . . you?

I would love it too!

I'd love to see them try that in the UK, what with the state of our road network!

While I agree it would make a great location for spotters, flying aircraft off roads is old hat.
BAC (as it then was) LANDED a Jaguar on the incomplete M55 and took off again - back around 1976 I believe (almost 40 years ago).
Of course the Swedes are masters at this - being able to take off from roads was parto fhte design spec for machine like the Viggen and Gripen (any probably the Draken and Tunnan before that).

True its a "already done" thing, just posted as the view was just spectacular, and its a rare thing to see a large multi taking off from a roadway. And this is commonplace.
