CHO's Runway at Night - X Files or what?
December 22, 2008
Has anyone noticed the big yellow X's at each end of the runway after normal operating hours?
No, it's not the X files! The runway and taxiways are being re-lamped and rewired. CHO did not want this to affect commercial flights so major work is being done after normal hours of operation (12 am - 5 am for all you insomniacs). The re-lamp construction will be going on for the next couple of months and includes new airfield signs as well. After the project is completed, the lighting and signage will be brighter which will ensure safer flying to and from the Airport.
Have you figured out the X's yet? They are a HUGE visual reminder to pilots each night that the runway is closed.
