Aspen at night
FYI
For those of you not familiar with the Aspen airport or haven't seen a chart --- think of it as a U shape, opening to the NW, and the rest of the U is 12-14K foot mountains. A small single can physically take off to the SW and make the turn to get out to the NW but not too many other aircraft (other than helicopter). Landings are to the SE, takeoffs to the NW with an immediate turn N for the missed. No, I've never flown into Aspen, but I live in Colorado and drive out there to ski (well, I used to. No more skiing -- gotta pay for the airplane) (just to help everyone else visualize what's going on)
