2,600' of runway - can't see how you could run out of room - short of
performing 5 T&G's on it. How do you get on on 700' runways?

Pay no attention to this comment, my friend.

Actually... my apologies - over here in kiwiland RWY's are in *meters* -
and even though I typed my reply in feet (') - my brain was engaged in
meters. So sorry 'bout that - Reid and Julie.

I'm fairly used to landing on 'shortish' fields - as we have many of 'em
here. Hell.. even the grass strip at NZCH (international) is pretty
short - and has caught many a student out trying touch and goes after
landing halfway down it Further, there's a farmers fence at the end
of it - it's caught a few planes in it over the years.

Last time I was down that way (crosscountry to Oamaru) I overflew the
smog choked airfield. Solid clag.
