Well, just as IFR can mean "I Follow Roads", ILS sometimes means "I Land Sideways"...

Funny I brought this up on another post regard to USAF Anderson AFB in Guam, even stationary and fully loaded Boeing B-52 s slipped on the tarmac , they put in hardstand wind breakers come revetments , amazing something so heavy and chocked starts moving on you, the outta wing pontoon gear stood up to it .. mind you they caster to suit direction.

I like this line "Gilsonite is a pavement sealant that acts like a cost-efficient "sunblock" for low traffic airside pavements. " Cost effective? There's no such thing. Cost cutting is probably more accurate. Going with a solution from The Warehouse is never a good alternative to just buying it from Gucci. When it comes to something that can affect safety there is NO excuse for just using a cheaper option...
