Hope this is OT. Somebody got a list of all possible Shuttle landing locations? Not just for STS-116, but all of them? And the list of TALs too if you got em.

Check the shuttle Q&A thread, I'm pretty sure it's in there, and the full manual with runway markings / pictures / etc is on L2.

There's a huge PDF on L2, with hundreds of the landing sites (all of them) and images of each one and diagrams on how to land at them. There's even one in England! Was shocked that there's so many landing sites in case of an emergancy. 23 megs and nearly 400 pages long.

There's also the same version for Soyuz Rescue/Emergancy.

Thanks for the tip! I was starting to get the idea they had more than the usual suspects.

I'll ironically be using that and a few more we have on landing sites etc on the FD14 thread.

However, for now, this will help (for the document on L2 Franson mentioned):

Thanks a lot for the everybody's answers on my question about the flyaround... and especially to Jorge, really insightful
