I saw a lot of <i>interesting</i> landing spots. My brother owned a small plane, but sold it after less than 300 solo hours. He said he had WAY to many "good" stories about landing seaside with bears, and wheel-tracks coming out of <i>and</i> ending in creeks on either end of the beach under a ceiling falling as fast as the snow, creating "landing strips" with a chainsaw and machete, and repairing holes made by crows ("not all hundred-mile-an-hour tape is actually good for much over a 65 knot airspeed"), landing his tail-dragger with a 40 MPH stall speed in 45 mph wind, and such things--- he could read the writing on the wall, got out while he could.Rolfhttp://www.thestarscameback.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-46998025772688528542014-02-23T04:29:52.056-06:002014-02-23T04:29:52.056-06:00I wonder how many traffic accidents are caused by ...I wonder how many traffic accidents are caused by touist drivers suddenly having a Twin Otter bearing down on them.John Peddie (Toronto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13352390633776699430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-3618778980058755422014-02-22T17:04:37.302-06:002014-02-22T17:04:37.302-06:00I believe that you need to be specially trained an...I believe that you need to be specially trained and approved by airport mgmt. to land at that airport.
