Posted April 23, 200915 yr During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from a Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting and trompe l’oeil to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air.

April 23, 200915 yr That is amazing where did your source it from? http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
April 23, 200915 yr cool picks, but in the big picture a pretty wasteful effort. Continental US only got hit by Japanese Balloon bombs.
April 23, 200915 yr so thats where Westfield got their idea for using shade cloth as a temporary 'undercover' carpark cover . . . There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.

April 24, 200915 yr u guys heard of the "secret" runway in singapore? its one of their highways, in times of war they will close off the highway and can use it as a military runway. http://i.imgur.com/TLiDl.png
April 24, 200915 yr u guys heard of the "secret" runway in singapore? its one of their highways, in times of war they will close off the highway and can use it as a military runway. pretty sure Sweden and Taiwan have a similar thing. Allows for dispersal of fighters so if the main bases are attacked they have other places to fly from to keep on with the fight.

The RFDS land on the highways in remote areas to pick up patients and take them into town. http://www.connan.org/gallery/v/NorthAustralia/MelbToGove/aah.jpg.html http://www2.mainroads.wa.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/F2A3B738-7B65-489F-A5C2-FA738B80BE22/0/nanutarra_emergency_airstrip.pdf http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v390/pennywise_pw/pennywiseevilfun.png -Evi|.

April 24, 200915 yr They can land/takeoff there during the night if they have someone to lay out flares along the edge of the strip. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v390/pennywise_pw/pennywiseevilfun.png -Evi|. PR Captain
