Autobahn Airport, 1984:
I wonder how practical that would have really been. Presumably the Soviets would have noted every stretch of the highway where the lanes came together for several thousand feet without a median strip.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
