You've probably heard that the U.S. highway system was designed with stretches suitable for landing aircraft.

A stretch of highway in northeast Arkansas was closed for several hours this weekend so that Arkansas National Guard pilots could practice landing their C-130s on a straight stretch of highway.

I'm sure this has happened more frequently, but this is only the second time that I'm personally aware of. Very cool.
