Real fun is landing at Harris Ranch (3O8). The runway is only 30ft
wide. The wingspan of a Piper Cherokee is 35ft.


When I was up in Cedar Rapids, I had my plane based at C17... The
asphalt was 26 ft wide... They claimed that the runway was a combination
of turn and asphalt that was 100 ft wide, but since they noted that
there was a rough transition between the turf and the asphalt, it's not
like you wanted to go off the pavement... Coming in the first time at
night, it sure seemed narrow... You get used to it after awhile though...
