Greenwood–Leflore Airport (KGWO)

Description

Greenwood–Leflore Airport is a public airport seven miles east of Greenwood,the county seat of Leflore County, Mississippi. It is owned by the City of Greenwood and Leflore County, but is actually in Carroll County. History: Greenwood Airport was built by the United States Army Air Forces as a basic flight training airfield. Greenwood Army Airfield was the home of the 7th Basic Flying Training Group (BFT), and assigned to the Eastern Flying Training Command. As built the base had four 5,000-by-150-foot (1,524 m × 46 m) runways and a 50-acre (20 ha) concrete parking apron. The pavement required was the equivalent of 65 miles (105 km) of two-lane highway. In addition, there were rail lines which were used to deliver gasoline and oil as well as coal and freight. On occasion, a troop train would venture onto the base to deliver or pick up cadets. There were 375 buildings, including; three fire stations, a 170-bed hospital, theater, chapel, recreation halls, post exchanges, mess halls, warehouses, barracks, a photo lab, parachute building, hangars, a sub depot, link trainer buildings, ground schools, a large swimming pool and myriad of other buildings necessary to run a ‘small city.’ Now, we are down to 2 runways. I am using this as test to work on interfering runways. The runway may not be in the correct location at any given time. The above description has been prepared by IPACS forum user JetJockey10.
