abn deuce Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Found these two clips on youtube showing loading ,unloading and use of airportable equipment ,it does mention the aircraft using a temperary runway to bring in the men and equipment which would make you wonder why the enemy would give up a field that still had some use but enjoy the clips . part one Something went wrong... part two Something went wrong...

abn deuce Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) By putting the asphalt on top and then mixing it with the top layer and repeat a couple of times you make a smooth surface , tough enough for temperary use I m sure its a simular method that has been used in concrete road construction if the base soil is sandy gravaly you add cement and water then mix and level .
