At one time, MSY was designated as an alternate landing site for the space shuttle orbiter. If the weather or other factors closed Cape Kennedy and Edwards AFB, MSY was on the list.
The Concorde also landed here at least once in the mid-80s. People were parked all along the fence line to watch it land. I don't think Homeland Security would have liked that very much.

Yeah, 1985. Parrish Travel charted an Air France Concorde to fly from MSY-CDG.
