What I heard, though it is not official and may not be true, is that GSO has the longest runway between DC and Atlanta. The military pilots must practice approaches and landings every so often at this airport in the event the other two are not available in case of a national emergency. Large military aircraft and air force one may be required to land here in such an event. If the largest of those planes can make the landing, I guess the rest should have no problem. I recall seeing a similar aircraft practicing approaches last year too.

Thanks TJMac and Shane. And GSO does have a very long airstrip. No matter what it is I like seeing C-130s fly anywhere. :)
