You are getting a lot of flying in... good for you.. but I tend to chuckle
when you call 3000x50 a short field runway.. or were you just practicing the
technique there.

Just for fun.. look up 0B8, 1935x40, or 7B3, 2100x170. Even the cross wind
runway in AUG is 2700, with cliffs to each end. The airport sits on top of a
hill.

Did some short field work over at Carthage (50 foot wide runway by
3000), made a full stop at KJAN and had to taxi to the parallel runway
and of course had to return home.

At Carthage, thermals from the runway made me float more down the
runway then I cared to and it reflected on my landings. Plane just
didn't want to sink despite me coming down final as slow as possible.

Not sure about others, but I do get a tickle out of me getting "more
then one turn" taxi instructions when I land at KJAN. Keep in mind
most of my work is at an uncontrolled airport or airports with a
taxiway that runs parallel with the runway.

Never can understandy why they make the centerline reflectors the size
of mount Everest relative to my tiny nosewheel.

Anyhooo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCSCGKb2ZFw and 8 minutes of
your time will have you endure 4 landings at the above mention
airports.
