Brief Hot Springs report

Ingall's field is hard to miss - nothing but trees on the surrounding
ridges, and one open, obviously man-made clearing top center of a large
ridge, which just had to be the airport. The sheer drop-off at the
ends of the runway made the sight picture strange, and I was just a bit
high on final. That was OK, because I had plenty of runway (5,600')
and planned a slightly extended touchdown to help avoid problems with
the potential wind shear from the cliff at the end of the runway.
Crosswind was just a bit tricky, with the runway being mostly
east-west, and the prevailing winds usually north or south. Windsocks
at either end of the field indicated about a 7-knot crosswind, which
disappeared over the runway, leaving the mid-field sock flat, and
requiring me to take out crosswing correction before touchdown. The
folks at the FBO were really nice, fuel was reasonable by area
standards at $3.98 full serve, and the scenery was great. The airport
was VERY quiet - a couple of based planes, and one other four-place
single, though I understand it kind of fills up with corporate jets on
summer weekends.

Nice shot of the approach! I need to try that this summer. Looks like
you had a beautiful day.
