2400 feet a short field? No you're pulling my leg!

Having learnt and being based on 2000 ft x 50 ft runway, I sometimes
practise landings a bigger airport in the vicinity, just to keep sharp
on those huge runways.

What would protect the town from a not quite so well placed stick or

three?

Not that dinky little chain, that's for sure!

I meant from an incompetent attempt at using a stick or three to protect
the town by eliminating the hazard.

It's not really incompatible. It's simply self-correcting. :-)

Yeah, I know. :-)

You'd figure that with all the mine blasting in the region that the dang
rock would have already fallen! Boulder came off a strip mine across the
line in Virginia and rolled into a boys bedroom, poor little kid didn't
stand a chance. If I remember correctly a truck dislodged it.

Pshaw! You call that a "small" runway? Crikey, it's 50 feet wide!

Where I was based in Wisconsin (C89), it was 30 feet wide. (2300 feet long,
though, to be sure.)

Precision was rewarded...

Sounds like Paullina, IA (1y9) with its 2800 x 28. I'm planning on a Fly-In
at Sheldon, IA (SHL) on Monday and will try Paullina when I'm in that
neighborhood. It'll be interesting to land on a runway that is narrower than
my wingspan. Maybe then onto IOW??? ;-)

Actually, no. It's a pretty normal runway around here. Of course I do
know and practice on a few small ones occasionally, most of them one-way
with no go-around option. (But then, being primarily a glider pilot, I'm
used to unimproved fields with no go-around option.)

As was required on the old runway at C29 Morey.
