Air Force to Land Planes on Northern Michigan Highway
Yep, you read that right. The Air Force will be landing planes on a Michigan highway.
Coming up in August, the United States Air Force will be conducting drills, which are part of the Northern Strike war-readiness exercise. As part of the drills, pilots will partake in training that will teach them to land on civilian roadways.
These exercises will take place near the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center in Alpena County. On Thursday, August 5th, a portion of M-32 will be closed from 8 am until 1 pm from east of Herron Road to west of King Settlement Road. During the exercises, Airmen will try to land two C-146 aircraft and four A-10 aircraft on the highway. As cool as it would be to see, officials have stated that civilians should not gather near the closed roadways or the landing zones.
