What's the narrowest runway you've ever used?


Not sure... My current runway is 25 ft wide... It definitely seems narrow,
but there's plenty of grass on either side that I could land on also, I
guess...

At what runway width are you comfortable?


Well, I don't feel *uncomfortable* with this one, but most of my flights are
probably from an airport with a 50 ft wide runway with ditches along a good
portion of it, so rolling off the side would definitely *not* be a good
idea...

This turned a 3.5 hour trip into an 8 hour odyssey.


Ahhhh... The dreaded "scenic route"... grin
