Looks like a crash dummy on the passenger's side.

sure as hell ain't me!!! :eek:

xoB..

Great. Now I feel like a total tard - I didn't even notice that it didn't have blades.

I really try to avoid flying in any form - here's a link to what happened the other day on our runway in Sitka. They totally downplay it, but I saw the damage myself. Not cool. Our runway starts & stops in the water so it's a bit unnerving when the plane isn't 100% when it hits the ground. Rough landings are par for the course on our runway - we are all used to them. I know all of the people that are quoted in the article, and they are all very well traveled, so this must have been damn scary!!
The best part is that it was the Disney plane!! Hahahaha!!

i've been in a similar situation the last 2 or 3 flights i've flown albeit not as severe. it sure is a nuts-in-throat feeling and takes alot of skill, rudder and extra airspeed to get the baby on the runway centerline. i've had people ask me if i'd like to fly up in Alaska to which i say, no, thank you. i'm not that ballsy yet.

Well, hell...no wonder you're squeamish. The damn runway is built out into the ocean for 2/3's of its length. It isn't even part of the damn land. Plus, it is right next to that giant volcano you posted the picture of the other day. I wouldn't want to fly into or out of there, either.

Topo here.

Jeez. The topo makes it look safe compared to this photo.

does the runway include cable arrestors, and are the planes outfitted with tailhooks?

Sure, put some blades on that baby and gas her up.

Dude I guess i just posted a pic from a weird angle , she has blades , there is just SOOOOO Much Kick ASS power that they are short ( Horse power -v- Blade area , etc,,,,,) . :lol:

Heres a better angle .

It's a Toyota Celicapter!

:lol: good one

.

Yep - that's our runway. There have been many, many times we've landed and I've been curling my toes / clutching the handrests, hoping that we will stop in time. They are working on expanding the runway so that we can get planes bigger than 737s in here. We'll see if that happens.

xoB - I didn't even notice the Kim thing - that's funny! The weird thing is that one Kim is a woman, and the other is a man.

I saw this one in the news the other day. I don't know what is so funny about it, but it sure makes me laugh!

These guys look like some of those Peruvian mummies I've seen.

they look like they are about to pop !!!
