	Landing strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For women, a landing strip typically refers to a cultivated pubic hair pattern in which much of the pubic hair is removed, leaving only a central vertical line or rectangle.
		For men, a landing strip may refer to a facial hair style, centered on the face, running from the lower lip to the bottom of the chin.
		A landing strip can also refer to a hairstyle for men and women in which a section of hair is buzzed with clippers in order to create a visible shaven patch between the main segment of hair and the bangs.

	John F. Kennedy Space Center - Landing the Space Shuttle Orbiter at KSC
		Landings were scheduled to resume at KSC with Mission 61-C in January 1986, but that flight also was diverted to EAFB due to bad weather in Florida.
		Planned end-of-mission landings at KSC resumed in 1991 after safety modifications and improvements were begun to the orbiters and KSC’s runway.
		The original lateral cross grooves that were cut on the KSC runway to help prevent hydroplaning were ground down on the first 3,500 feet (1,067 meters) at both ends of the landing strip to reduce the friction and abrasion levels on the orbiter’s tires at the time of touchdown.

	washingtonpost.com: Plan for Landing Strip Turns Into a Super Hornet's Nest
		Mortal enemies in most places, the farmers and the birds are stitched together as allies here in the land that the Algonquin Indians called "the swamp on the hill," in what is fast becoming one of the most contentious ecological battles in the country.
		The landing strip would be the first major new Navy facility since the 1960s and would break ground at a time when bases across the country are closing.
		The jets, which can make the trip in minutes, would execute about 30,000 touch-and-go landings on the strip each year, cutting loops in the sky before each descent as if they were racing along a stock car track.

	Live from the Landing Strip
		Landing the orbiter at the Kennedy Space Center instead of Edwards Air Force Base saves at least an estimated $1 million and five to seven days of processing time for its next mission.
		A KSC landing also eliminates the necessity of exposing the orbiter to the uncertainties and potential dangers of a cross-country ferry trip atop one of NASA’s two modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.
		Although a normal entry, approach, and landing are expected, precautionary plans are in place to accommodate a deployment of Discovery's drag chute during reentry.

	NASA - Touchdown!
		Landing at Kennedy saves processing time and eliminates the need to return an orbiter to Kennedy from an alternate landing site.

		Although on call during an entire mission in case of an early landing, the Orbiter Convoy normally begins recovery operations about two hours before the orbiter is scheduled to land.

	Runway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From a landing aircraft, the threshold is a strip of green lights (known as threshold lights) the far end is a strip of red lights.
		Since takeoffs and landings are usually done as close to "into the wind" as possible, wind direction generally determines the active runway (or just the active in aviation slang).
		For example, at ORD, when landing simultaneously on 22R and 27L or parallel 27R, it is routine for arrivals from the Far East which would normally be vectored for 22R (7,500 ft) or 27R (8,000 ft) to request 27L (10,000 ft).

		The tower at the centre of the western roundabout will change colour when the traffic intensity on the roads is low, signalling to alien craft that now is a good time to land (presumably one or two cars getting squished by a spacecraft is a worthwhile sacrifice).

		The world’s first UFO landing pad was actually built in St. Paul, ALberta as part of the Canadian Centennial celebrations in 1967.
