There is a rather tired looking Apache with some of the Geronimo mods
on it, tied down outside...

Actually, my plane (Fat Albert) is an Apache, unmodified, with 150 hp
engines... Had I bothered to check before hand on the airport, I
would not have had nearly full tanks for departure, but it all worked
out without any sweat - it isn't often the fat boy is asked to give me
Vx, but other than a reproachful look at me, he accomplished it....
Not to give a false impression, I knew about the short runways but the
hills at each end were a bit of a surprise...
