Heavy 172 takeoff from 1,100' grass strip?

How is that "density altitude" today?

Same thing that got these guys (minus the fatalities).

And almost this one.

Hows the airshow going? I'm thinking about checking it out.

I don't have any spare tickets but come on out. Five P-40's in formation, you don't see that everyday.

How is that "density altitude" today?

A dear friend of mine—ex-Western, 777/A, and an experienced backcountry pilot, as well—died at Salt Lake City #2 as a passenger in a Bonanza, because the sea-level pilot at the controls didn't understand that concept.

According to the FAA, density altitude is "one of the most deceptive phenomenons to plague a pilot."

OH MAN they showed us this video the first week in ATC school , every controller my age knew of Harry Bliss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man i can take this baby anywhere !!!!!

Ok, some angry Demi-God will strike me down for saying this, but the Feds made some pretty good films.

And clips like this are PRICELESS. From the bee-hive hairdoo to the neuvo-pR0n soundtrack to the hapless one liners....love it!

Always made sure I had an extra 1000' at soft fields. The numbers don't take into account all the variables that are very likely; knots, bumps, slope, they haven't mowed in 3 years, that tree that has now grown to hang over the far end of the runway.

I don't find exciting takeoffs very much fun. I like my flying just like myself, as dull as possible!

I like beaches. They're long, mostly flat aside from the slope towards the water and usually just have to worry about driftwood, but if you landed then you found a section without.

I like beaches.

How about long walks in the park? Salad Nicoise? Sunsets? Subway or Quiznos?

 

[Fixtur]

How about piña coladas? Getting caught in the rain?

I'm jealous, never got the chance to land on a beach!

I looked up the N numbers of both the aircraft in that film. Still flying!
