Richmond is a massive aviation facility by any standard as depicted here in our Bicentennial airshow pie of heavy jets parked upon its spacious hardstandings. Construction of a cross 4000m runway and appropriate civil terminal and support infrastructure on vacant land to the west of the airfield could be accomplished cheaper and quicker with less environmental problems than at probably any other site.
