I learned to fly out of a 1800' runway south of Kansas City, MO. The
name was Hillside. Never had problems with short runways. They even had
a Beech 18 going in and out.


I'm not that familiar with the BE-18 but that does sound impressive.

A good old airplane. There are still a lot of them flying. It was also
used as a bomber trainer.

The British called it the Hudson, I believe.
