Bush landings, strip, grass runway...
Are these videos safe for work?
To: Larry Lucido
Are these videos safe for work? Not if it makes you want to leave early and go to the airport for a flight, like it does me!

My colleagues don't like it when I pee my pants at work... Is that why you are always rushing out the door so fast at the end of your workdays? (ducks) *grin*

Lands with roll-out going uphill. Movie “Air America” Mel Gibson/ Robert Downey jr. depicts such landings among the Hmong mountain villages of Vietnam.
