not just the 1000 m range, but every thing else there.  they have every thing from a 13 stand to action pistol range there.  the place is  in the thousands of acres(640 to a sq mile)

oh yeah a 3000' run way is short. 

I've got 2 form SAC bases here in town.  The main run way at mather AFB is 11300'  thats about 2.15 miles...

Its one of the few one the west coast that can handle the biggest planes.  I was at the air show they had there a couple years back.  They had that russian plane there( you know the biggest plane ever built)  It made C5s look small.  just think about that for a second.

I've seen the Concorde, B-52's and 747's land at Bangor, and B-52's land at Pease. Of course they were both built for B-52's and KC-135's that still fly out of there (Pease  NH Air guard)
I know the Soviet transport you mean  the Antonov An 225.

yeah.  There was c5 right next too it, it was about 25% bigger.

It was some where in the 275' long and I'd say close to 300' wing span. ( from memory, you can check th eweb site to find out exactly)  It was massive.


a c5 is like 250' long and 225' wing span.

the wing span of a 747 is ~ 195' and like 230' long

so its one big MOFO.
