RE: Visiting Manaus - FigueiraJet 2011
This place is now one of my favorites because of its isolation and incredible beauty even if the runway is not very long, and there is not much margin for error. What look like bushes at the runway end are 30 foot high treetops!
Some pilots overrun the runway but nothing was too serious. As I thought that this would happen to me, I carried a case with a saw, hammer, files some tube spares wich is something a "jungle mechanic" would use. Many people used them and I was glad that I bringed this tools even if I was lucky and had not any issue with the Roo with canards.
