What do you think about this:

Base Aérea Militar Río Gallegos

I dont know why the Argentinians need a 4.000 meters runway. Have they an own Shuttle to land it there or was it an emergency runway for the american Shuttle program, like Templin in East Germany was it for the soviet Buran?

i dont recall teh shuttle having a emergency landing site in Argentina (Azores and a few strips in Africa pop up more frequently)

but i did not know that Templin was an emergency site for Buran!

BAM Río Gallegos uses the same runway as Aeropuerto Internacional Piloto Civil Norberto Fernández. In 1980, it hosted the first trans-Antarctic flight from Río Gallegos to Auckland.

Later, in 1987, this became a regular route operated with Boeing 747 aircraft. Sadly, the route was cancelled in 2014.
