Kennett, Mo. 30 years ago my first time on an airplane(King Air one engine). Unmanned Airport, Short runway, cliff at the end.

New co-pilot Responding to question from Senior pilot “Can you make it, Can you make it?”: “I don't know, I don't know”.

Pilot responds, “pull up, pull up”.

Plane pulled up, circled, and pilot executed landing. I was really glad to get feet on the ground! Sure would not want to land in this place.
