Where[edit]

Pictures and text indicate that the field was constructed where Rapson hall currently stands just south of the Armory. Group29 (talk) 17:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

Nine minutes into this Nasa press conference, "Northrop Field" is described as a possible landing site in the event the Space Shuttle needs to land without going orbital. Clearly, the football stadium is not the location they had in mind. Might anyone know the landing site for a possible disambiguation? Many thanks.

The "Northrup Field" ("NOR") mentioned by the NASA official is the White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico, formerly and still informally called the "Northrup Strip".

(First I thought of Jack Northrop Field a.k.a. Hawthorne Municipal Airport (in Los Angeles County, CA), which is way too small for the Shuttle to land on (and in an urban area), but it's still relevant for Northrop Field (disambiguation).) --80.217.15.92 (talk) 14:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
