This will get you up and running with USB tethering - the only downside is that I don't see Cyanogenmod supporting multi-touch: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod then custom compile and setup busybox, dropbear, ssh, etc. Not too difficult if you can read man pages and use 'vi'.

When I first saw "landing strip", I couldn't help but think of the action at Mons (www.monsvenus.com - NSFW) last nite. Mostly barewood, no carpet to matchup the drapes... Google should ask the government to exercise eminent domain, and take Mons from Joe Redner(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Redner).
