But since you got the picture at church, I won't type it out. :-) Wayne |

Lar, Looks a lot like where I learned to fly if you take that center bump out. Can't see the rest of the strip, but looks about like 100ft elevation difference; notice that is a a c-206/207/208 probably a six with a belly pod for cargo. If I can figure out how to hook up the scanner, I'll post some similar stuff with me flying. Granted that one's a little worse... if I owned it I'd hire those guys at the top to get the village to remove that center hump before some lawyer like latchless gets killed on it. Pretty standard stuff in the third world. Looks like he broke ground in about 500ft; he must be loaded down with misprinted bibles or something. pacplyer |

The hump in the middle is the only way you'll get that baby in the
air off that strip.:-) I know a grass strip that's like that, though far FAR less so than the picture under discussion here. OTOH, once when I came back from a flight to a nearby strip and mentioned it to the hangar-flyers sittin' around at my home airport, they asked, "Did you see the dip in the middle of the runway?" They didn't hook me with that one... :-) |

Clever anonymous handle.
Thanks, I choose to remain so at this time. Not so I can snipe or gripe, I just prefer to do it this way. Heck, it's not like you're just the picture of honesty and openness yourself. You wanna prang me about anonymity you really oughta sign your posts yourself. Mturner ain't gonna get the mail delivered. I've posted under my own name for years. And it was verifiable. And some on this board have actually met me in person. Can you write the same? You really are a spineless common loser aren't you? Whoa big boy! To quote John Belushi in the Blues Bros, "Well what did I do to **** you off this time, baaaaby?" Do you read some threat or slight in my asking a simple question? Which, by the way, I think your response answers. But spineless? Me? Hehe, you don't know what you're writing. If anything I push the envelope a little too hard at times. And no, I am not a loser, and by no stretch of the imagination common. I just found it to be a humorous anti-spam device. I actually tried common winner first, but there aren't enough fields in the AOL spam block. Probably didn't get enough cool-aid at the Jim Jones camp. You can kiss my highly-traveled ass. I'm just gonna assume that you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Either that or your anger management classes were cancelled and you were upset. :^) I asked because you had referenced the Masons in one of your posts. I thought I knew the answer to my question because you wrote of them as Free Masons. Not to quibble, but it is Freemasons. Since you did reference the Freemasons in the designing of the United States Government, in particular the Separation of Church and State, I find it interesting to point out that at no time has a man been allowed admission into a Lodge of Freemasons if they did not profess belief in a Supreme Being. Same for the early patriots. Atheists need not apply. |
