done, the 114 did a wonderful job getting in and out, what a great airplane this is.

We had to leave the 185 there, the engine started to misbehave, we will fly back later during the week to recover it.

this is the landing of today's flight... You can see we made it with good margin to spare. They do have a tree on final they need to get rid of.

and this is the flyby prior to the landing

looks like a rough runway? ideal for stopping but a long take off?

I'd be keeping that nosewheel off as long as possible!

yes, it has about 2,000 ft, and yes, elevator aft during both takeoff and landings, it wasn't a bad surface
