My neighbor owns the Flying Tom airstrip and flies a DC3 in and out of his
strip. It is only 1600 X 40 feet. I bet he doesn't do it at full gross!
The airstrip can be seen he http://www.airnav.com/airport/OR39

I flew '3s for a short while for a Massachusetts commuter about 25 years
ago. 100 gal/hr, gross at 26600 w/ 32 pax, cruise about 130 or 135, iirc,
land on a 3000' runway and make the turnoff. absolutely the best landing
you'll ever get, if you trust her.
