Service families are celebrating the runway reopening at Offutt Air Force Base

Chewed up and worn out are the best words to describe the runway at Offutt. Flooding in 2019 destroyed a half-mile stretch leading to an overhaul of the runway. Now, the work is finished. "We used to patch the runway, like, every 10 years, that's like a $15 million job typically," Congressman Don Bacon said.
