Highway strips
A special kind of runway is a "highway strip".
This is a registered part of a highway that may be temporarily used for aircraft landings and takeoffs.
In Flight Simulator you can find plenty of them, primary in the Middle East. They're registered as airports containing only the runway, and the airport code always start with Z.
Due to inaccurate data sources not all highway strips are connected to the road net in the scenery. However, the following strips are all connected in the default scenery of FSX:
| Code | Name | Country |
|---|---|---|
| Z11D | Rotimojoki Highway Strip | Finland |
| Z11E | Vuojarvi Highway Strip | |
| Z11F | Alavus Highway Strip | |
| Z11G | Jarvitalo Highway Strip | |
| Z14N | Shahabad Highway Strip | Iran |
| Z14P | Shahrokhi Highway Strip | |
| Z14S | Dezful Highway Strip | |
| Z17F | Al Quwayrah Highway Strip | Jordan |
| Z19M | Al Abdaliyah Highway Strip | Kuwait |
| Z26D | Qalibah Highway Strip | Saudi Arabia |
| Z26G | Al Wariah SE Highway Strip | |
| Z26K | Al Bir Highway Strip |

i can just imagine driving down a highway, minding your business, when you see a cessna in your rear view mirror! lolThat would be funny
That would make me want to Step on the gas:D
It's really fun flying into those highway strips with f-18s
haha, just imagine driving in your brand new car when you adjust the side mirrors and see a bunch of F-22's not cars, F-22's taking off or even just driving along lol
haha i live nex to Alavus Highway Strip. one time a Cessna 172 do an emergency but it's only time whne somebody aldn at here.
i cant emagine driving in a highway when a a380 nose is right next to my back window lol
I think that now most planes need to have a horn, so they can land on highways and warn the traffic :P.
When i flyed there i say the northen lights
I Drive With The Cars In A Car I Got
Its Awsome
once a cessna had to make an emergency landing on a highway, not a strip, and the propeller sliced though the side of a car and hit a person. it cut through her leg and had to get major operations. she wasnt able to walk for almost 2 years... :/ so i would probably hit the gas if i saw a plane landing next to me...
Hell if I saw a saw a plane landing next to me I'd crawl to the other side of the car and jump out the door!
