Hi Doug and all
I'm spending a month in a kind of interesting location that not a lot of RVers are likely to spend any time in so I thought I would post a photo of Dougs logo from here.
the Photo is taken standing on the end of the most northern public use airport in North America. Grise Fiord. The runway is packed snow over gravel and is 1950 feet long. Twin Otter territory, or Pilatus PC7's which the police force I work for flys. Girse Fiord is on the south coast of Ellesmere Island in Canada's far north. We have a two man detachment here and I am filling in for a month. My first trip to the far north. Everything in this town is supplied by a yearly sea lift or by weekly Ken Borak Air twin Otters.
this photo is taken from the same spot, but looking back at the approach to the runway. Large mountain in the way. The approach lights curve to the right. Landing aircraft can only level from a curving approach very close to the runway. The departure end is not much better, rising ground and a big mountain to the left and right.
Not likely any one without the ability to tanker fuel in a piston aircraft would come here, only turbine fuel available.
Anyway Doug or monitors.....hope this meets the criteria for posting on the site.
