I landed a RC-12D at Anderson Air Force base in Guam, the home of the mighty B52 during the Vietnam War. The main runways there are both over 2 miles long. On final the tower asked if I wanted to land on the numbers or midfield. I remember thinking I could do both...hit the 1000 ft marker, excute a touch and go, and still easily land midfield. LOL. Here's a pic.....it's a loooooong runway!

I looked up McCoy and it is 12,000 Ft long and if I am correct 300-350Ft wide.
Lots of yards of concrete in those runways. McCoy was also a home for the mighty B-52's during the cold war. I could have used the width to take off easily and not tellin how many times I could have taken off and landed on a 12,000 footer!
