And here I was thinking that it was going to be a picture of Spike at an airport!

Nah, Spike's a good guy and a sharp cookie, despite what you may have heard. Stop picking on him!And here I was thinking that it was going to be a picture of Spike at an airport!

NTSB: "So, were you landing uphill or downhill?"
Pilot: "Yes, I was!"

Kutztown Pa. , n31,(now closed) has or had a series of woop de doos in the runway that reminded me of that photo.

There was a dip on the runway today at our contest but he was flying a 182 and figured he was the only guy in the world that had any interest in that runway for about 5 minutes.

But N31 was much much narrower.

I know Spike's a good guy. It's all in good fun.
Thanks Spike, I'll try not to abuse that privilege ;-). Really, the only reason I mentioned your name was that you were one of the few people on here that I could trust to just take it as good-natured ribbing and not get bent out of shape. I fully expect a retaliatory jab back from you in the future.
Was the Grumman taking off or landing?
Outclimbing the terrain is one thing, but outclimbing the runway?

Don't worry about Spike I have him all toughened in on taking a good ribbing. I ran out of lawyer jokes on him and he tells me he still wants to go flying with me.:wink2:

Who ever is driving the Grumman should start using their head, and land up hill.

Um, this is my home airport, collegedale, TN (FGU). It is not as bad as it looks. The Mooney does float quite a bit further, though, as you keep going downhill towards the flair.

I regularly make the turnoff you see on 21, and our hangar is far down on the right.

I remember landing there when the Citabria gang lead me all over Pennsylvania on a tour. I was so hungry, I didn't notice the dip.
And here I was thinking that it was going to be a picture of Spike at an airport!
to Spike I remember the first time I landed there. Couldn't figure out why I kept floating and floating and floating and floating while flaring.
It's a neat little airport.

Years ago we were stuck in traffic on the road leading to the entrance of Disneyland. My then-teenage son jumped at the opportunity to pose with this sign ...And here I was thinking that it was going to be a picture of Spike at an airport!
