![]() "Aluckyguess" wrote in message news ![]() What are the cordinates for that airport.? I might go check that out. Here's what it looks like from space (when the Google Earth guys are regulars, you get space imagery): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-Rock-City.jpg The airstrip is along the southeast edge. You can land there but you need a ticket to enter and the procedures are unique. They publish their own procedures on Unicom, usually with a code phrase: Information Whiskey Breath has expired and I don't know what the new one is. Hard-packed surface, ~4,000 elevation, lots of dust and the airstrip is shut down between sunset and sunrise. If you were to land you'd probably be directed into the Customs terminal, which most likely has a brass pole in the center of it and a bunch of mostly-naked young women looking for rides. I'm serious. (And so are the folks who run the airstrip...the craziness is only in jest) Unfortunately, it's kind of like Oshkosh except the conditions are much more harsh, which means you have to prep your aircraft quite a bit for the conditions. -c |
