What's the most hazardous landing strip you know? I just got a call from
my friend Teddy in craggy, mountainous West Virginny and he said to look on
page 38 of _Plane and Pilot,_ where a picture of Snopes Farm Airport glares
at you. Devilishly. One way in and one way out and you better set up
your approach carefully, fella. Teddy flies in there all the time. Take
a look at it, you machismo mushmellers.

Let us all know, by all means, how many of you have received badges of
courage for flying in and out of any of the runways described in the P&P
article. No touch and goes, now. You ain't going to do a touch-and-go at
Snopes anyway.

Wouldn't that be the landing strip that is directly in front of you
that you are trying to land on.

<sigh>

"Nothing worth remembering" ...is what has made Latchless
Larry what he is today - an unsuccessful lawyer, clueless pilot,
shameless homo erectus and failed procurer of aircraft canopy
latches from any reputable planet Earth source.

FWIW...
Expect lots more of same from Latchless Larry.
He is incapable of being shamed or embarrassed.

Pay no mind to brain dead Latchless Larry.

As usual he knows not of what he speaks.
To see what Swope Farm [WV11] looks like....

Be sure to read the commentary about 86 year old
'one-eye' Swope, his Baron and his chopper.

P.S.
My 235 Pawnee often used a 600 foot CURVED strip with
30 ft power lines on one end and fence at the other.
Normal landing was over the power lines.

Latchless is afraid of.

You dumb prick, who said I was afraid to say where it was? It was on my
dads property in Oregon. No I am not going to tell you where my dad
lives as he still lives in the same house he did when I learned to fly
in the 60s. It was a 30ft wide 1000ft long strip with power lines
immediately on the east end and an irrigation ditch immediately on the
west end. I learned to fly in T-Craft and had a private instructor come
to our airstrip and teach. Later I flew a TriPacer in/out of there for
about 500 hours. If the strip was still there I would be happy to post
pictures of it. You are about the dumbest poster here.
BTW clueless one what does "Canardboy, Jerry Springer" mean? I fly an
RV-6. so don't know how you come up with "Canardboy" what a dumb ass.

You gotta be the dumbest dickhead on the planet, Latchless.

First, your post begged for challenges to your hokey mountain strip,
and when you got predictable responses, you attempted in every case,
to denigrate the respondents to the best of your feeble ability.
You failed miserably, as any pinhead with a double digit IQ,
could have predicted.

FWIW...
Your demeaning caricatures had me laughing....
at you, not with you. If would all be very funny,
if you weren't soooo clueless from the get go.

You are to be pitied like a flea bitten mutt
dumped on the side of the road and left to die.

We don't want him to stop Bob, this is some funny stuff he is writing.
There is another strip close to where I live that is 500ft long I
don't know what the grade is but it is steep. I landed there one time in
a nose wheel airplane and it took almost full power to taxi to the end.
I have landed in Van's old home strip that was 600 ft long. this is
the strip he use to fly his RV-3 in/out of. It was pretty easy as both
ends were open with no obstructions.

Old Latchless still has not told me where he came up with "Canard" in
an earlier post. Seems like about the time I think he probably not so
bad after all he writes something stupid. :-)

How true.

If Latchless has a flair for anything, it's for what's going on with
his fingertips and that vacuum between his pointed ears. Seems
all he has to do is type away and out it pours. Some of his more
inventive stuff could either get him committed, sued or killed.
Looks like a toss up from here. <g>

Too bad Latchless views everything as "not worth remembering".
He might get a ride or two in a 200 mph RV-x, that could readily
demonstrate the design's ability to squeak in and out of strips built
for the 50 mph ultralight crowd... or a crazed one eyed Baron driver.

Latchless was probably just in one of his more 'confused' states.
Gotta' remember... he seldom sees or admits his own mistakes.
Let's not forget his penchant to call others liars, too, when the
heats on him. Coming from the mouth of a failed lawyer, that
is hilarious while being painfully ironic at the same time.

Then you should be internationally recognized with a 10k gold-filled medal,
a plaskit trophy, and a lapel pin to commemorate these acts of incredible
bravery.

Not one of you dim mouseketeers has yet recognized that Swope is hazardous
and designated as such on the Cincinnati sectional because of the approach.
Sheesh. Casting pearls before swine.

BoOb, you worthless slobbering old fart, go land there in your crate (built
by somebody else cause booby be to dumb to build anything) and then come
back and tell us it was a piece of cake. Heheheh. I love it when dusty
old ag pilots writhe and shuffle to give the impression they're bush pilots
too.

Where is Packie? Time to hear of his great adventures of derring-doo
landing his Minnie-Max in the jungles of snake-infested Indoneezy and
jatoing through the galaxies in his rented robbie.

Why would Jerry need to prove it?

There are x-offed strips like that all over the west. If I can ever
figure out how to do it I'll post pics of my Dad's strip when it was
extended to 2000' with 70 ft elevation difference. These feats are no
big deal for an empty turbo STOL 206. Takeoff down hill with flaps 25
and the yoke full back in your lap, fly with the stall horn screaming.
16 years old. Neighbors couldn't believe it. One day a doctor tried
it, (at 2000') we warned him not to, but you know how doctors and
lawyers are in their bonanzas. Right through the manzinita bushes.
Screwed up his flaps, wrecked the finish everywhere. But we dragged
him out, did some repairs, briefed him, and somehow he made it!

Your mouth is overloading your ass AGAIN, junior birdman.

I probably had 100 hours on it before you were potty trained.

In the meantime...
I'm may not be your type of 'bush' pilot, but I'm
doing my share of crotch dusting, you lame eunuch.

eunuch...

1. A castrated man employed as BOb's harem attendant.
2. A man or boy whose testes have been removed.
3. Informal. An ineffectual, powerless, or unmasculine man.

Latchless, If you ever do acquire any balls....
It will be interesting to see what you have bragging rights to.
Other than your failed quest for latches, your achievements
known here appear to be nada, zip, zero, etcetera to date.
If I'm wrong.....set the record straight about what you should
be admired for concerning your flying and building.

You like to talk, so get some balls...
and tell us what is so good about you.

Nope, it was a Mid-American STOL kit (much better IMHO), With the
floatplane kit: big seatail, beefed up nosegear, Utility doors, Elt
finding kit, and Tundra Tires.

God, how I miss that airplane. My Dad sold it to a couple of lawyers
to help pay for my ratings and you guessed it, they totaled it about a
month later. No fatalities unfortunately. (just a wheelchair)
