• Only Eight Pilots Are Qualified to Land on This ‘Terrifying’ Runway

  As I mentioned above, there is a bundle of highly restricted airspace to the North. If approaching from the North, you make a hard right turn and literally flare while you are rolling out of the turn. When doing this approach in bad weather, you are looking right in the windows of the USA Today building in Virginia just before you make that hard right… Veeeerrrrry interesting!

  It depends on the direction the wind is blowing. They need to land and take off into the wind.”

  Yes, this is normally true, but there are some where this is not possible. Kodiak, AK is one, as there is a mountain at one end. You land toward the mountain and take off away from it. There is on in VA which I once flew into which is the same way, and the approach has houses right off your wing tip as you curve down a valley. Washington National is also a real trip, because of the restricted airspace if you are approaching from the North. You make a hard right turn and immediately flare as you roll out. Lotsa fun.

  Please note the picture. Since when did Tea Party people need masks, etc to disguise their identity? This alone shows what these morons are about.

  Minority? The same minority that elected Gov. Walker to clean up the mess left by the likes of you and the same minority who re-elected Justice Prosser to ensure that the cleaning up will stand. I love my state, and can’t stand seeing it being taken over by out of state hired thugs and professional rabble rousers. Go back under your rock.

  Let the liberal tapdance begin. Who is playing ‘Tea For Two’ in the background?
