Off Airport Landings
How Cool!!! I'll stick THAT one in my pilot bag of tricks!!! Had a tire
go flat on me during a landing (I think it was then) landing on a dirt
strip in the Sudan after having struggled through a sand storm. Low on
fuel and about to stick it into the sand dunes when I popped dout of
the storm and spotted what I thought was a road and headed for it.
Turned out to be a strip and I made an OK landing. My fuel was down to
one hour or less after a 10 hour ferry flight from Cairo and Khartoum
was still nearly two hours away.
Cheers
Rocky
