Facilities

The airfield has a single concrete runway 14/32 measuring 9500 x 150 feet (2896 x 46 m).[1] It is sited in a valley and has a full length parallel taxiway with two aprons at the ends. It is also unique in that a taxiway leads nearly 2.8 kilometers to the south-southwest, accessing dispersed aprons. It is home to a fighter regiment of 44 MiG-21 jets.[2]

gollark: I've loaded up the minoteaur database with 5000 very small pages so far, and there's significant overhead.
gollark: My test database has reached an entire 1.6MB in size.
gollark: I was praising specifically SQLite but I guess SQL is okay too?
gollark: Also, praise SQLite, as it is GOOD™.
gollark: This is weird, I'm testing the performance of this at larger scales by using the API and some shell scripting to (sequentially) insert 10000 pages, and requests usually take about 8ms but randomly spike to a few hundred occasionally.
