Gliders in the Grand Canyon
Marty Shapiro writes:
There is a real nice picture of Marble Canyon taken about 3 months ago at http://airnav.com/airport/L41 It clearly shows the airport at the top of the canyon, not in the canyon. Of course, MXmoron is too lazy to try and look anything up. If he had, he would have also noticed that the pictures of Cliff Dweller's Lodge and Grand Canyon Bar Ten also show them at the top of the canyon, not in the canyon. I looked it all up. On a topographic map it is clear that these are all in the canyon. And if you look closely you'll see that the canyon is about 2000 feet deep where these airports sit. |
