Wow.....fourteen years to build that little flat strip of land. All by hand. Not a bad job considering.
 They should be using the STOL short take off and landing planes like this..... |

That Susi Air outfit piles up a lot of airplanes due to where they take off and land. Absolutely some crazy places that take an immense amount of skill. I saw a documentary on them a while back and saw that particular landing. Not something I would relish as a pilot.

As somebody that has flown daily for 15+ years I can attest that some pilots, like drivers, are better than others. I don't know if it's that they are naturally gifted at it, but it sure seems that way. |

Sadly reminds me of a guy I met briefly some 30? years ago, son of a gal I went to HS with.....long story, but had a useless degree, and so went to pilot school, and got a commercial license.....wanted adventure so went to ALASKA to become a bush pilot....he MAY have known that fellow from CF that passes away some years ago...Don.....at any rate he got an assignment to flip some folks up over to the Prudhoe Bay region and on the route back he elected to go through some mountain pass that was NOT on his flight route, and so in shitty weather he managed to make all the turns.....except the last one......~125 mph into the granite.....was not till the following spring they got what was left of him off the mountain side.......he was friendly with some local Native Indians/Eskimo types and so they gave honors to him, and sent to his mother whom I knew, I attended the Quaker style memorial gathering for him.....
he was her only child......she/hubby and a friend moved into a house in Shenandoah Valley Va. sold/moved from the DC burbs as they can't stand what has happened to the town we all grew up in......

Don't believe I'd like that at all.
