I have run across that a couple of times from other people, and have found it in my research on the Cold War. Have found some very interesting web sites on that topic, including every missile site/silo in the US for ICBM's, and the Nike and BOMARC defense sites for surface to air missiles and all of the DEW sites (Distance Early Warning) that lined north America from Alaska to Greenland, and have found out why the Canadians and Greenland hate the US for the toxic waste we left behind from the late 70's all the way to '88. I will have to look for it again but I found a picture of the Airbus 380 double decker landing in Greenland on one of our own old airstrips that is shorter than the runway at TIA for cold weather testimg.

In GreenLand they have small planes land on bare ice. I'm suprpised a little greenland air strip can handle a AirBus 380 though. Greenland is a bitter cold place all year.

I think they should ban geese from the trails. Been dodging too much geese poop lately.

Canada Geese are a big problem on the Heritage Trail in Hilliard, Ohio (Columbus, Ohio area) a part of the trail passes by a small lake and geese poop is all over the trail pavement and in the grass next to the trail, runners and cyclists just bypass that section, it's just north of the main trail parking area The city trys to hose it off now & then and clean up the mess. That is worse than dog dung. That's the trail where they did a 5K Race  race back in 2006 and I came in 2nd place for my age group with a time of 25:33 the first place guy beat me by 31 seconds. It's a nice trail to run or cycle it's 12' wide, it's flat with no grades and no hills,- it's six miles long. They have mile markers every half mile.

The only geese problem on the trails seems to be South of the pedestrian bridge on the east side of the river. It's the worst next to the apartments on the west side near Southwest Boulevard.

My mistake it wasn't Greenland, it was here http://www.city.iqaluit.nu.ca/apps/fusebox/index.php?fa=c.splash

which was a DEW Line Station. The runway is 7000'.

Here are the pics

The worst Canada Geese problems happen during certain times of the year- Northern states seem to have more of a problem.

Have you ever been to Arizona in the winter?

No- but I would like to retire either  in Phoenix or in Las Vegas- are geese a big problem in Phoenix?

No, but retirees from the midwest are...

Let's see, Arizona winter, Phoenix in particular, hmmmm, never drops below 30 degrees, lots of sunshine, man made lakes stocked with fish using reclaimed water, and thousands of ducks, geese, and all kinds of birds (with and without wings) migrate here every winter. Ya THINK there might be an issue? I would say look it up but the only thing you use the Omaha library for is to post online comments here.

Too many snowbirds,
Not enough freezer space........

Hey, maybe you can take an early retirement?  And tell everyone you're living in Arizona from the solitude of that cubicle at the Omaha Public library.

Yep, they call 'em "SnowBirdz"

Hence my previous post, "So many snowbirds, So little freezer space."

Not many people like cold climates- They follow the Sun. The SunBelt Cities grow while the Frost Belt cities loose population. Not many folks want to retire in Fargo N. Dakota.
