Actually Mortimer, this airstrip (Southern Seaplanes) is still there,
and operational. The runway is 40ft wide, and in rather bad condition
(bumpy).

Fun place to fly into though, I was there in Novermber.

I was once given a landing on a runway about that wide, with a dogleg
in it during my primary training. *No trees though. *This one, however,
I'm not sure I'd want to try even today.

I made the straightest landing of my career in a Piper Arrow at a seaplane base
down in New Orleans called Westwego. *It had a relatively short, very narrow
runway alongside the waterway. *How narrow was it? *You know how when you flare,
the runway spreads out on either side of you?

This one didn't. *The airport is closed now... you have to wonder why.
