Alright, All You Dashing, Swaggering Bush Pilots
What's the most hazardous landing strip you know? I just got a call from
my friend Teddy in craggy, mountainous West Virginny and he said to look on page 38 of _Plane and Pilot,_ where a picture of Snopes Farm Airport glares at you. Devilishly. One way in and one way out and you better set up your approach carefully, fella. Teddy flies in there all the time. Take a look at it, you machismo mushmellers. Let us all know, by all means, how many of you have received badges of courage for flying in and out of any of the runways described in the P&P article. No touch and goes, now. You ain't going to do a touch-and-go at Snopes anyway. |

Wouldn't that be the landing strip that is directly in front of you
that you are trying to land on. Why would you say that? -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American* |

I guess I'm gonna have to git out mah old Canon SLR and fire up the puddlejumper. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pay no mind to brain dead Latchless Larry. As usual he knows not of what he speaks. To see what Swope Farm [WV11] looks like.... http://216.239.37.104/search?q=cache...hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Be sure to read the commentary about 86 year old 'one-eye' Swope, his Baron and his chopper. P.S. My 235 Pawnee often used a 600 foot CURVED strip with 30 ft power lines on one end and fence at the other. Normal landing was over the power lines. BFD, Latchless Larry, BFD.
