Doing a couple of patterns this morning, before the heat was overwhelming, I heard another plane - a C140? in the pattern calling downwind for a 17 grass landing. This was a first, so I looked at what was going on: to the right of the hard runway, was fresh mown grass. And a taildragger, making a pretty landing. So I asked how it was, and hearing the grass was smooth, decided I should renew acquaintance with the green. * *And remembered for the first time in twenty years, the rumble of wheels on grass. Sweet! Brian W It's worth reminding renters that some rental agreements prohibit landing on other than paved surfaces, or require a special checkout. Be sure to read the fine print! |
