Landing at Harrisburg international MDT is fun. Its on the Susquehanna and landing to the north has you turning left base over Three Mile Island. I grew up within the ten mile radius of TMI. It was nearly our Chernobyl.

Could also be to limit noise on takeoff, those houses are fairly close to the threshold and if using the starter extension you would be well high and clear before reaching them.

The scary part is where the strip goes from 50 to. 40 feet wide and over the bridge, pretty daunting for a blind tailwheel aircraft, I've met the new owner, there is a 170b, xteme decathlon and extra on the field.
