Ξ EXPERIMENTAL RUNWAY ◊ TEXAS 2012 Ξ

The "Experimental Runway" Is An Abandoned Runway On An Artificial Island In The Western Atlantic, Used In 1985 As A Secret Testing Facility For Military Aircraft. The Official Name For The Site Was, And Still Is, Kept In Secret. The Runway Had Initially Consisted Of An Air Traffic Control Tower, Four Heli-Pads, Three Aircraft Hangars, An Underground Submarine Dock, And Living Quarters For Stationed Workers. During Operation, The Runway Would Be Armed With SAM Missiles. Submarines Were Usually Used To Transport Workers, Tools, And Building Supplies To And From The Island, However Utility Boats Have Been Used On Rare Occasions. Multiple Boats Would Patrol The Surrounding Waters While Soldiers Would Be On Guard. Civilian Aircraft Would Also Be Instructed To Avoid The Area. While Initially Abandoned In 1994 (As The Projects Quickly Advanced In Progress) The Runway Was Bought In 2011 By A Private Investor For An Undisclosed Amount.
