Is this one of a point of departure or a point of impact? I can't tell.

I hope it is a departure. I flew in a HI8 (HIP) out of Petropavlosk
on a fly fishing trip two years ago. We landed and took off several
times (dropping off flyfisherman on the Zhaponova River). Every time
we took off by heart skpped *several* beats. It was a noisy,
uncomfortable flight, but I'd do it again to catch the big rainbows
Kamchatka has to offer.
