. net... Holy Cow!!! Where was this taken? This has to be a taxiway doesn't it - no runway edge markings. Rand Airport in South Africa (according to the accompanying text). And, no, that's the 50'-wide runway they're on. Do the math, that's less than 5' of pavement on either side of the mains...! ![]() -- Doug "Where am I to go/Now that I've gone too far?" -- Golden Earring, "Twilight Zone" (my email is spam-proofed; read the address and make the appropriate change to contact me) |

I am particularly interested in Cessna 172's. Does anybody have any contact or website details on these aircraft? I don't think 172's are very popular with drug runners. You may get a good deal on a really piece of junk 210 though. Drug runners don't do good annual inspections, AD compliance, etc. I heard that hundreds of mothballed 737's have been bought up by these guys now. -robert Great Book, http://www.spikefly.com/crop.php was a fun read! |
