Another weird YouTube plane video

Actually Mortimer, this airstrip (Southern Seaplanes) is still there,
and operational. The runway is 40ft wide, and in rather bad condition
(bumpy).

Fun place to fly into though, I was there in Novermber.

I was once given a landing on a runway about that wide, with a dogleg
in it during my primary training. *No trees though. *This one, however,
I'm not sure I'd want to try even today.

I made the straightest landing of my career in a Piper Arrow at a seaplane base
down in New Orleans called Westwego. *It had a relatively short, very narrow
runway alongside the waterway. *How narrow was it? *You know how when you flare,
the runway spreads out on either side of you?

This one didn't. *The airport is closed now... you have to wonder why.
