In addition to handling sales for the membership, the Middletown farm is an official federal quarantine facility, and used by a variety of exporters of livestock. The farm was initially purchased in 1975, and has handled cattle destined for at least 45 countries around the world. The first of the Boeing 707 s with a 100 head of black and white cargo for Brazil is expected to lift off the runway at Harrisburg In ternational within days, pending final clearance of all health requirement documents. One refueling stop will break the 14- hour flight. Because of noise abatement regulations governing the Harrisburg air space, only certain jets equipped with noise reduction “Hush Kits" are allowable. PHA had to arrange to bring from use in Europe one of the two cargo planes contracted for the Brazilian shipments. Although the Harrisburg In ternational Airport is just two miles from the PHA barns, most export flights in recent years have departed from Kennedy Airport in New York, adding an additional four hours of trucking to the total travel time. Cattle shipments generally go on the giant Boeing 7475, planes too large and heavy when loaded for safe takeoff from Harrisburg’s runway. Eventual lengthening of the Harrisburg International’s runway, reportedly under construction by the Penn sylvania Department of Tran sportation, would facilitate ad ditional export shipments in the future by PHA from Harrisburg.
