More on the Frikkity Grass Runway

Here's Wikimapia's overhead on the Omsk Airport. Maybe FS just decided that since I was in a small plane, a grass runway would be OK. Maybe it's based on the length of runway, and it picks the runway based on wind direction and then length. Donno. Either way, there was a perfectly servicible concrete runway right next to it, and the buggers wouldn't let me land there.

As a side note, it seems Dostoevsky was holed up in Omsk when in exile, and it is western Siberia, so it is kind of a dreary place. (At least that's the impression I got from the Wiki article. Your mileage may vary.) So any comic releif is probably welcome. Like twinning Omsk with Milwaukee, as a sister city. To quote Deteriorata, "reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee." Or Omsk. "The Chicago of Siberia." Really. Not. Making. That. Up.
