Merging bear and lawn mower engine since 1927.

One of the Nordic nations, I think Sweden actually has designated parts of their highway system built to runway specs, and they do practice on them. AW&ST had some real neat pictures a while ago from a training event.
I usually hear about this happening in florida about once a year.
