Title: long grass strips in the US
Post by wahubna on Feb 28^th, 2012 at 10:45am

Anyone know of good grass fields with plenty of runway length? Most in my home state (MI) appear to be <3,000ft. Are there longer grass strips in the US?

P.S...
Do you want long strips with short grass
...or long grass with long strips?

Whoops...I was not looking for a mod or addon. I was looking for grass strips people know about as in default ones. One thing that can be annoying about the sim is a lack of an ability to search for an airport length wise.

Default grass strips over 3000' are most often found at higher elevations, where aircraft need longer takeoff runs.

If you check mountain areas you should find some at elevations near/above 8000'. Here are a few I located west of Denver-0CO6, 2CO9, CO95, NM16. Runway lengths from 4000' to 5800'.

I know in Montana you can find quite a few longer than 3000, one for sure is MT95 it has a 4000+ grass strip
