        The runway data for Champaign/Urban Airport looks like this in
my directory:  (Multiply X 1000 for Gross Weight Capacities.)
        RWY 14R-32L  H8100X150 (CONC-GRVD) S-100 D-180 DT-260 HIRL
        RWY 04L-22R  H6500X150 (CONC-GRVD) S-100 D-180 DT-260 MIRL
        RWY 18-36    H5299X150 (COCN-GRVD) S-40  D-50  DT-90  MIRL
        Remarks mentions that Taxiway D is not available to aircraft
        with seating capacities over 30 pax.
        S = Single Wheel Landing Gear (DC-3, C-47, F-15, Etc.)
        D = Dual Wheel Landing Gear (DC-6, Etc.)
       DT = Dual/Tandem Landing Gear (B-707, Etc.)
        For a B-707 that gives a GCW of 260000 pounds max. plus maybe a
20-50% weight margin over that which isn't supposed to be used.  Taxiway
D serves Runway 22 via taxiways D3, D2, D1, and C to RWY 18 and 14R.  A
Note on the FLIP diagram adds the following to the runway GWCs.:
        RWYS 4L-22R, 14R-32L S-100, T-180, ST-175, TT-260
        RWY  18-36,  S-40, T-50, TT-190
        RWYs 4R-22l and 14L-32R are reserved for University and FBO
        use only.
        Jane's puts the following weight limits on the C-135 family
        of aircraft: Empty Weight-171000 Lbs., Max Takeoff Weight-
        336000 pounds.
        Which taxiway did they clip?
