| Remember, do not land at an airport unless it is made for your air plane. Remember: a time back a United Airline pilot miss took Troutdale for Portland International and landed a DC 8 there. United had a hard time getting that DC 8 out. They had to take out all the seats, most of the equipment, and had to remove buildings and other items off the end of the runway plus they had to remove almost all the fuel to get the weight down as far as they could. Be careful. |
