Sorry, I screwed up, the correct URL is

without the forward slash at the end

Is someone fibbing here? In the _Plane and Pilot_ article I referred to in
the thread, this particularly nasty airstrip (but "cake" for Waldo, Urb, and
Packie) is shown as having been carved from the jungle in Kalimantan,
Indonesia, which is a damn fur piece from South Africa.

My first thought upon seeing that strip was a two-word exclamation. But
since you got the picture at church, I won't type it out. :-)

Lar,

Looks a lot like where I learned to fly if you take that center bump
out. Can't see the rest of the strip, but looks about like 100ft
elevation difference; notice that is a a c-206/207/208 probably a six
with a belly pod for cargo. If I can figure out how to hook up the
scanner, I'll post some similar stuff with me flying. Granted that
one's a little worse... if I owned it I'd hire those guys at the top
to get the village to remove that center hump before some lawyer like
latchless gets killed on it. Pretty standard stuff in the third
world. Looks like he broke ground in about 500ft; he must be loaded
down with misprinted bibles or something.

Just curious... why would it be misprinted bibles?

The hump in the middle is the only way you'll get that baby in the
air off that strip.:-)

I know a grass strip that's like that, though far FAR less so than the picture
under discussion here.

OTOH, once when I came back from a flight to a nearby strip and mentioned it to
the hangar-flyers sittin' around at my home airport, they asked, "Did you see
the dip in the middle of the runway?"

They didn't hook me with that one... :-)

Clever anonymous handle.

Thanks, I choose to remain so at this time. Not so I can snipe or gripe, I
just prefer to do it this way. Heck, it's not like you're just the picture of
honesty and openness yourself. You wanna prang me about anonymity you really
oughta sign your posts yourself. Mturner ain't gonna get the mail delivered.
I've posted under my own name for years. And it was verifiable. And some on
this board have actually met me in person. Can you write the same?

You really are a spineless common loser
aren't you?


Whoa big boy! To quote John Belushi in the Blues Bros, "Well what did I do to
**** you off this time, baaaaby?" Do you read some threat or slight in my
asking a simple question? Which, by the way, I think your response answers.
But spineless? Me? Hehe, you don't know what you're writing. If anything I
push the envelope a little too hard at times. And no, I am not a loser, and by
no stretch of the imagination common. I just found it to be a humorous
anti-spam device. I actually tried common winner first, but there aren't
enough fields in the AOL spam block.

Probably didn't get enough cool-aid at the Jim Jones camp.
You can kiss my highly-traveled ass.


I'm just gonna assume that you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Either
that or your anger management classes were cancelled and you were upset. :^)

I asked because you had referenced the Masons in one of your posts. I thought
I knew the answer to my question because you wrote of them as Free Masons. Not
to quibble, but it is Freemasons.

Since you did reference the Freemasons in the designing of the United States
Government, in particular the Separation of Church and State, I find it
interesting to point out that at no time has a man been allowed admission into
a Lodge of Freemasons if they did not profess belief in a Supreme Being. Same
for the early patriots. Atheists need not apply.

No you haven't. I did a search on your "name." You have never posted
anything anywhere up until now. The only person in this NG who's met
you in the flesh is Rosie Palm. Your problem is simple: You have no
testical fortitude, and I predict; you never will. You are an
anoymous coward, and I bet you are this way in life as well as
on-line.

You are a liar and a dickhead. (and a really bad liar)

Adios, half-man.
