Its rare that the big (or smaller) stations don't have airstrips.
I always loved landing on dirt/sod instead of concrete. There’s something primal about it - like black powder instead of smokeless.

28 minutes ago, Buckshot Bear said:THE LARGEST CATTLE STATION IN THE WORLD - ANNA CREEK STATION.The Anna Creek Station was bought by Sir Sidney Kidman, Australia’s so-called “cattle king”, who owned large areas of land across Australia during his lifetime.Kidman was thirteen when he ran away from his Adelaide home in 1870 with only 5 shillings in pocket and a one-eyed horse that he had bought with his savings. His teen years, Kidman worked as a drover, stockman and livestock trader, and made money supplying services to new mining towns springing up in outback. Eventually he had saved enough to buy his own station.Kidman began gobbling up one estate after another until he was the biggest landholder in the world by World War I. At one point, the size of Kidman’s properties exceeded the size of the entire United Kingdom.His family still owns more than 10 million hectares, or about three-quarters the size of England. With a herd of 185,000 cattle, S. Kidman & Co is one of Australia's largest beef producers.
Looks like an airstrip on the edge of the property in the third pic.

The best thing to come out of Iowa is I-35…
Apologies to my Iowa pards. That’s a cheesy Kansas City joke!

I hate to tell you guys this but you've been fooled. I was looking for the LA Times article because I wanted to see what part of LA he was from and I found this:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gold-member/
I realize Snopes isn't very reliable either but when I couldn't find anything from the LA Times, I have to think they're correct.
I did the same, but didn’t consult Snopes. There is no story to be found about this supposed person. I’m amazed people fall for this s**t.

Bottom line....something new, government subsidized, failed.
The only "subsidies" this attempt at maritime fuel savings is the usual business tax breaks
Tax breaks ARE subsidies and they are never-ending. Take away the taxpayer support and the entire green energy gambit dies overnight.
Now, let’s take this dead horse topic to a new thread and leave this meme thread alone.

If it was efficient or practical, they’d be doing it by now. I’ll defer to the shipping operators who know to make a buck.

Is that pink box Pepto-Bismol? For the nausea she feels after she chops him up?
I’m thinking it’s for the nausea after eating the parts. Then the donuts will taste better for dessert.

I agree. And I posted the meme. It was pretty lame.
This one's better.
No, the meme was excellent. And a perfect set up for the joke!

Is it? On my phone it looks galvanized. I guess I owe Alpo an apology.
Sorry, Alpo!
Galvanized won’t bend like that. If you zoom in, you can just see the sweated joint under the M of Plumber.
