Which highway is that? I saw several freeway sections set up for airplane usage when I lived in Taiwan, 1989 - 1995, but never saw them used. I really enjoyed seeing the Ching Guo fighter, as that airplane was my reason for being in Taiwan.

28 June 2007:
ROC Minister of Defense Li Tian Yu went to thank the Highway Department of the Ministry of Transportation, for their cooperation during the recent Han Guang 23 military exercise.
27 years ago, before the Zhong Shan Highway was completed and opened, Li flew F-104 and T-33 at low altitude, to evaluate its feasibility as an emergency landing strip.
Li was a former ROCAF F-104 pilot. In early May, he replaced Li Jie as Minister of Defense.
