Spinning (mis)concepts

You might mention there are three turnouts (or at least there were). My
first landing there, I radioed I'd take the first, but ended up taking the
third due to high altitude energy and poor wheel brake;^)

Use of the first turnout by gliders is now actively discouraged, due to
the potential for taking out a towplane or glider in the tie-down area.
The second one has been expanded, which is quite helpful. The third
one is there, and I use it when necessary, but it is not possible to
clear the runway without getting out and pushing.

Furthermore, there's been more than one incident there. It is better to be
high and hot than the alternative. Rocks is hard.

Indeed.

Still, a lovely place to fly.

That it is.
