Oct 15, 2006; Irvine, CA, USA; John Wayne Airport is located in Orange County, California, between the cities of Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and Irvine. Originally named Orange County Airport, the county Board of Supervisors renamed it in 1979 to honor the actor John Wayne, who resided on Lido Island in nearby Newport Harbor and died that year. The airport serves both general and commercial aviation needs for the area. The main runway, at 5, 701 feet, is one of the shortest of any major airport in the United States, effectively restricting use to aircraft no larger than a Boeing 757. Thus, the short runway, coupled with local noise restrictions, requires a takeoff at or near full power, followed by a steep climb, a sudden reduction in power, and two turns closely following the Upper Newport Bay. Interesting fact is that all the aircrafts have to turn on the brakes, turn on full power, and then release the breaks enabling the aircraft to take off using only a quarter to a half of the small runway. Landings almost always require the use of reverse thrust. Mandatory Credit: Photo by Camilla Zenz/ZUMA Press. (©) Copyright 2006 by Camilla Zenz
