A runway extension project placed the runway through a small family plot and the graves of the airport property's two original owners. Because the family did not want to remove and relocate the graves, the markers were placed in the asphalt runway." https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Savannah/Hilton_Head_International_Airport<br /><br />Using the coordinates on the right side of the page took me to GeoHack page http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Savannah/Hilton_Head_International_Airport&params=32_07_39_N_081_12_7_W_type:airport and from there I clicked on the Google Map link. <br /><br />I scanned the runway going from east to west and found the markers at 32.128822, -81.206913krossbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877826327758153784noreply@blogger.com
