Default June is busting out all over!

Short field at 2600 feet? There aren't really any obstructions either.


Sounds like Jay needs to be recalibrated. :-)



I know -- it really *is* pathetic.

We used to fly out of C89 in Wisconsin -- 2300' x 30' -- in an
underpowered Cherokee 140.

Now, after 9 years of having three long, wide runways, we're so spoiled
that a 2600 foot grass strip seems "short" to us...

Oh, well -- we haven't lost it entirely. We only used less than half
of it to land, and maybe 3/5ths of the available runway to depart!


There's still hope! :-)

Matt
