I certainly would prefer to have such available, but there are always Risk/Reward evaluations to be made. It has been a long time, but it is my recollection that the landing strip at Camp David was no where near 2600 feet long when President Eisenhower was using it with an Aero Commander. Admittedly, they no longer fly fixed wing airplanes into or out of Camp David and that is probably due to the lack of a balanced field length, but it is interesting that a balanced field length was not felt to be required at the time Ike (a licensed pilot) was Commander In Chief. If the flight into an airport that does not provide a balanced field length avoids an automobile drive across fifty miles of mountain roads, which is the safest? As Always, It All Depends!

Was: Commander-List: site --> Commander-List message posted by: "Robert S. Randazzo" O.B. Well- the word "FREE" is a very compelling one to the airline pilot side of my personality... UAL trained me well... In fact- one could argue that the logical extension of their training would be to have me fly for free- but I fell out of the nest before indoctrination was completed. (That's a discussion for another day. ;-) hehehe ) I joked about the BFL- and in actuality I never used one in my personal flying until this airplane. The 685 is a marvelously capable airplane- but I never lose sight of the fact that I have 435hp per side where the turbo commander version of this same airframe has 700.... Out here in Nevada- there isn't an airport to be found that doesn't have rising terrain in at least 2 quadrants- so I've upped the safety cushion on my flying to ensure I never find myself without any options. (Anyone ever notice that they always point the longest runway at the highest terrain? Why IS that????) I routinely fly the SNJ-6 into Quincy, CA for breakfast- and while that runway is *just* long enough for the 685- I shudder to think of my options in the event of a failure... Even in the SNJ I have to circle the valley a few times to climb about the surrounding ridges... I think all that airline training whipped the dare-devil right out of me. :-) Hows that stearman, Bob? That's an airplane I've never flown but always admired....

FAA shows D&B Services of Maricopa AZ. A selfish reason is that she is on the ramp here in Kerrville where I flew my Bo to be with the family for the holiday. Most of you will remember I was 1/2 owner of an AC500 N6291B. I would hope to meet the owner/pilot and maybe get a closer look before going home.
