November 11, 201213 yr I was flying around the Kenai Peninsula and came upon the kind of strip that I really love - a very STOL... on a plateau! Not only that, but over trees while diving pretty much straight down because of the hills on Final. This is Oyster Cove - what a wonderful place. With a 14 kt crosswind, I guess I could have taken it from either direction. But, it is no fun coming in over the water, so I went around and approached from over the hills: Pretty much just point the nose straight down! Then, try your hardest to bleed the speed off as quickly as possible. Stand on the brakes! Not much runway left. :lol: I really like this kind of place, so I shall probably spend a few days here just practicing landings... I mean, having fun! :yahoo: Best regards. Luis Hot, humid Caribbean paradise!
November 11, 201213 yr I think sometimes its easy to forget the sheer enormity of this release. You can just choose a random area to start from and almost always see something new. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

November 11, 201213 yr Now that's one I've got to try. Looks like a good practice area for STOL, uphill, and downhill landings and takeoffs. Thanks Luis. Thank you.
