Would be nice if I went to a site and if they need money for content then they just asked me for money to pay for the content instead of pretending that watching their ads are so fucking important.

millertime24 8 #4 November 3, 2016 I remember watching a show (Discovery channel I think) about airfield design which featured this technology. From what I understood its basically concrete with a bunch of air bubbles entrenched within it creating almost a concrete "foam" type substance. Though working in Airfield Management, I would hate to have to coordinate everything involved with not only the ground emergency associated with the aircraft, but also the replacement of the pavement after the fact. Still, seems to work as advertised.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
