Nice. 5500 ft runway?  You should be able to do 2 or 3 touch and goes without ever having to make a turn! :)

Ha I thought the same thing yesterday when I landed there. I used about 100 feet of it but it was sure a nice smooth 100 feet

32 million dollars for a hunk of concrete less than a mile long here in Iowa? I worked for Carlson Construction for five or so years building mostly interstate highways. Roads only cost about 1 million a mile to replace back in the 80's. Add the cost to buy the land here in Iowa and things start to look a little strange. The highest farm land prices I've seen in this state was $10,000 dollars an acre and it's usually far less. Those hangers must be gold plated on the inside.

As far as the EU block on the website, that's strange too. It sounds like it's being blocked on our end here in Iowa. I wonder if it's a government thing or a local server thing?

Your a bit low Mr. There is a whole lot more than just one mile of concrete in this thing. And the price per acre right there was 21000.

That is because the website hasn't implemented all the hand holding (mostly warnings about cookies, etc) the EEA/EU requires in their GDPR regulations.  Cheaper and easier to block access then comply with regulations that 99.99% of their web traffic doesn't require.

Your right, prices have gone up since the 80's. Here are the current prices per mile to build a road: http://blog.midwestind.com/cost-of-building-road/ 

My flying farmer friend has 700 acres he's willing to sell you at a discount. His land is in Delaware county and usually costs more than in Woodbury county. Here are farm land values in Delaware county. http://dollarsanddirt.com/iowa-auctioneers/delaware-county-farmland-values/ 

I checked on Woodbury county in your part of the state too. Here's the link for those prices:http://dollarsanddirt.com/iowa-auctioneers/woodbury-county-farmland-values/

Think what you want but I still think they paid too much.
