Tribute to Arkansas Airport 980

[bugo]

The most unique (series of highways) in the country.  What other road marker has an airplane in it?  The Marine Tax series of highways are also quite cool.

Have we ever figured out what 980 stands for?

Probably just a random number like "412."

All the blue signs are 980, anywhere in the state. Weird.

The only brown Marine-Tax signs I've seen in AR are in Calion, AR off of US 167.  Where are there others?

This one was about 5 miles south of Dermott, south of the US 165/US65 split, on US 165.

Yup. Been there

I think that's old 165 in the background.

(Just noticed you have a photo of a similar sign on your Flickr page.)

That truck seemed to kick up a lot of dirt, so that alignment is probably quite old. All that Arkansas is missing is a train/locomotive on a state route sign.
