I hope this comes to fruition. Joe and Keith are putting a lot of effort into this. By simple coincidence, I am located 630 miles from Maxton, 630 miles from Loring and 630 miles from Wilmington. I guess Slim would be happy if it happens. This looks like about the same trip for him as I have. I did some research and I think this is the new runway that is not being used. It was constructed in the mid 1990-s. It should be in fabulous condition.

Joe,
630 miles x 3?  Now that's kinda freaky.  For me in western Maryland it's 430mi to both Maxton and Wilmington. Way farther to Loring though.  I'm happy to know that the Wilmington rep enjoyed her visit to Maxton in May and supports the move.
Come on Wilmington!  We want you!  We want to spend our money at your hotels, stores, restaurants, and gas stations.
Good luck ECTA crew.

Mapquest says about 660 miles from Skandia, Michigan to Wilmington Ohio.  Let's see -- that's a one-day ride with hardly more than a few fuel and potty stops.  Guurrr-reaaat!

My house to Maxton is 1082 miles per Mapquest.  My house to Wilmington would be 1089 but Wilimington is kinda/sorta on the way home from visiting my father.  I make that trip a couple of times per year...   :cheers:

My move to Colorado had only one bad result.  I  am now three days drive to Maxton.  :x However Wilmington is a day closer.  :-D I hope this works out for the ECTA and for Wilmington.

2.5 hours driving time to Maxton & 8.5 hours to Wilmington.  Hey, if they say yes I will be a happy racer.  I do love Maxton and the character of the strip.  Nothing like the 3/4 mile bump.  May take some getting use to with a smooth surface.  Say yes Wilmington.  We will be there in force.

3 hrs to Maxton, 11 hrs. to Wilmington. works for me. Amy and me love to travel to new places. this should be a hoot. Motels just a couple of miles from the airport, got to love it. Hope it works out.

We will be there. 400 miles more but thats not a big thing when you are retired. It will happen. Must have positive attitude.
