I find it very interesting to see how things were done before electronic devices took over.

Tulsa renovated theirs as one of a series of of items in the Vision 2025 plan for historic items in neighborhoods (though they changed the angle to point to the modern day airport verses the original one that pointed to an airport which is no longer there)

Weren't they used for planes during times without navigation systems?

Obama is using them to direct the prisoners to the FEMA camps, where they will be forced to enroll in a private health care plan.

That arrow appears to be roughly 150 feet long...having found it on Google Maps and measuring. I wonder if there is an actual website or page dedicated to the location of these arrows.

You might try reading the link before dismissing the post. Nothing remotely conspiracy theory related.

To be sure, you're the only one who has remotely approached that idea in this thread...

This is pretty cool. I've never heard about them before, nor ever seen one. Anyone know of any others in OK besides the one pictured in Tulsa?
